An Introduction to Combinatorial Analysis

This book introduces combinatorial analysis to the beginning student. The author begins with the theory of permutation and combinations and their applications to generating functions. In subsequent chapters, he presents Bell polynomials the principl e of inclusion and exclusion the enumeration of permutations in cyclic representation the theory of distributions partitions, compositions, trees and linear graphs and the enumeration of restricted permutations. Originally published in 1980. The Pri nceton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these imp or tant books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its f o unding in 1905.
