Computational Discrete Mathematics: Combinatorics and Graph Theory with Mathematica ®

by Sriram Pemmaraju, Steven S. Skiena

With examples of all 450 functions in action plus tutorial text on the mathematics, this book is the definitive guide to Experimenting with Combinatorica, a widely used software package for teaching and research in discrete mathematics. Three interesting classes of exercises are provided--theorem/proof, programming exercises, and experimental explorations--ensuring great flexibility in teaching and learning the material. The Combinatorica user community ranges from students to engineers, researchers in mathematics, computer science, physics, economics, and the humanities. Recipient of the EDUCOM Higher Education Software Award, Combinatorica is included with every copy of the popular computer algebra system Mathematica.

Computational Discrete Mathematics: Combinatorics and Graph Theory with Mathematica

Combinatorica was a package in Mathematica Version 4.2, 2003.

As of 2021, the current version of Mathematica is Version 12.3.

Combinatorica can no longer be loaded; many of the functions listed in the book don't exist in the current Mathematica.

But some of the examples do still work.

Unfortunately, not everything is compatible with the new Mathematica.
