Includes proof of van der Waerden's 1926 conjecture on permanents, Wilson's theorem on asymptotic existence, and other developments in combinatorics since 1967.

They constitute an organic part of the book. This book can warmly be recommended first of all to students interested in combinatorics. A two semester course can also be based on it." (Publicationes Mathematicae Debrecen)

Written by two of his former students, this book is based on notes from his influential graduate courses and on face-to-face discussions.

This book contains the notes of the lectures delivered at an Advanced Course on Combinatorial Matrix Theory held at Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) in Barcelona.

The present book covers most aspects of parts (a) and (b), but none of (c). The reasons for excluding (c) were twofold.

A major aim of this book is to present the theory of combinatorial geometry in a form accessible to mathematicians working in disparate subjects.

Designed for students and researchers in discrete mathematics, the book is a one-stop reference on the results and research activities

A ``hands-on'' constructive and computational approach to combinatorial topics with real-life modern applications.
