"This book is intended to be used as the text for a first course in combinatorics. The text has been shaped by two goals, namely, to make complex mathematics accessible to students with a wide range of abilities, interests, and motivations
and to create a pedagogical tool, useful to the broad spectrum of instructors who bring a variety of perspectives and expectations to such a course."--BOOK JACKET.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 501-502) and index.
