This book provides a broad introduction to some of the most fascinating and beautiful areas of discrete mathematical structures. It starts with a chapter on sets and goes on to provide examples in logic, applications of the principle of inclusion and exclusion and finally the pigeonhole principal. Computational techniques including the principle of mathematical introduction are provided, as well as a study on elementary properties of graphs, trees and lattices. Some basic results on groups, rings, fields and vector spaces are also given, the treatment of which is intentionally simple since such results are fundamental as a foundation for students of discrete mathematics. In addition, some results on solutions of systems of linear equations are discussed./a
'The book under review is an interesting elaboration that fills the gaps in libraries for concisely written and student-friendly books about essentials in computer science … I recommend this book for anyone who would like to study algorithms, learn a lot about computer science or simply would like to deepen their knowledge … The book is written in very simple English and can be understood even by those with limited knowledge of the English language. It should be emphasized that, despite the fact that the book consists of many examples, mathematical formulas and theorems, it is very hard to find any mistakes, errors or typos.'zbMATHIn computer science, an algorithm is an unambiguous speci...
This book discusses the concepts of financial management by using real-life corporate strategies to help understand the decision-making process of modern-day business enterprises. Strategic financial management as a discipline has acquired critical significance because of continuing globalization and resulting cross-border flow of capital. Financial Management: A Strategic Perspective stresses upon the importance of applying knowledge and techniques of financial management to the planning, operating and monitoring of financial functions within the context of the strategic choices and issues that have an impact on an organization’s long-term success. Divided into four major sections, this b...

This book is a set of notes based on lectures delivered by Prof. Su Buchin at Fudan University, Shanghai in 1978 and 1979 to graduate students as well as teachers from other institutions in China. Some selected topics in global differential geometry are dealt with. Certain areas of classical differential geometry based on modern approach are presented in Lectures 1, 3 and 4. Lecture 2 is on integral geometry on the Euclidean plane. It is abridged from W Blaschke's Vorlesungen Ulber Integralgeometrie. In Lecture 5, Cartan's exterior differential forms are introduced. Fruitful applications in this area by Profs S S Chern and C C Hsiung are also discussed.
This book celebrates Kerala in the fiftieth year of its existence as a state of the Indian union - the State that has braved all odds to emerge as a showpiece of social sector-centered thinking on development. This collection of 37 essays is comprised of personal experiences, perceptions, critiques and opinions on diverse themes related to Kerala s metamorphosis during the past fifty years. In this book, authors from diverse background attempt to narrate the events and causes, which led to the State s achievements and also to analyze the reasons for the tardiness in attaining success in many important domains. Changes in the life-style of people, outcome of administrative reforms, Kerala s experiments with socialism, People s science movement and impact of globalization are some of the areas, which have been reviewed here. A large number of articles are concerned with the subject of health. Their focus is on the changing pattern of diseases and its basis. Looking beyond medicine and social sciences, there are also articles, which deal with crimes, education, performing art and humor.
Written by IMF's Legal Department, this book outlines the key issues involved in designing and implementing orderly and effective insolvency procedures, which play a critical role in fostering growth and competitiveness and may also assist in the prevention and resolution of financial crises. The book draws on lessons learned from firsthand experience by some of the IMF's 182 member countries. It includes an analysis of the major policy choices that countries need to address when designing an insolvency system, a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of these choices, and a number of specific recommendations.
