Suggestions for Graduate-Level Combinatorics/Graph Theory Texts

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a rigorous graduate-level text in combinatorics and graph theory suitable for self-study, "Enumerative Combinatorics" (vol. 1 & 2) by Richard Stanley is highly recommended, though it is noted to be quite challenging. Alternatively, "Combinatorial Mathematics" by Van Lint and Wilson may be a better fit, depending on the specific course material and individual learning preferences.

But, its not for the faint of heart.
 
Maybe van lint's and wilson's book will suit you better, well it depends on the material covered in the course.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
