The Theory of Partitions (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications, Volume 2)

Descripción

Description: Figure illustrations. From the author's preface: ''The theory of partitions has an interesting history. Certain special problems in partitions certainly date back to the Middle Ages; however, the first discoveries of any depth were made in the eighteenth century when L Euler proved many beautiful and significant partition theorems. Euler indeed laid the foundations of the theory of partitions. There have been almost no books devoted entirely to partitions. If one considers the applications of partitions in various branches of mathematic and statistics, one is struck by the interplay of combinational and asymptotic methods. We have tried to organize this book so that it adequately develops and interrelates both combinatorial and analytic methods.'' This series is under the general editorship of Gian-Carlo Rota. This is the second volume in the series. BINDING/CONDITION: from a series with uniform bindings -- a dark red marbled looking binding with gilt text; the spine is somewhat skewed; Good condition. indexes. 8vo (9.5 inches tall). 255 pages.
