Discrete Combinatorics and Graph Theory- Harris, Hurst, Mossinghoff

Click For Summary
The book "Combinatorics and Graph Theory" by Harris, Hurst, and Mossinghoff is generally well-regarded for its rigorous approach to discrete mathematics. Readers appreciate its clarity and thoroughness, making it suitable for those with a strong mathematical background. For students seeking additional resources, several other rigorous texts on combinatorics and discrete mathematics are recommended, particularly those that delve into foundational concepts like the sum and product rules. Overall, the book is considered a valuable addition for anyone serious about studying combinatorics. Engaging with this text can enhance understanding of both combinatorial principles and graph theory.

Hello, I am a student interested in pure mathematics, and am considering giving this book a try. I was wondering what you all think if this book as I have it in my possession. Is it good? If not, is there any very rigorous (I can handle Rudin Analysis rigor) discrete textbook, like one that proves this like the combinatorics sum and product rules? Any suggestions would be nice.

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
