Combinatorics of Permutations (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)

"Combinatorics of Permutations offers the first comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of both enumerative and extremal combinatorics and looks at permutation as both linear orders and as elements of the symmetric group. Filled with applications from a variety of fields and exercises that draw upon recent research results, this book serves equally well as a graduate-level text and a reference for combinatorics researchers."--BOOK JACKET
