"This book provides a treatment of counting combinatorics and contains topical discussions beyond what is typically seen in other related books. Formulas are discussed and justified, and examples include unique approaches and ideas to the discussed topics"--

Faticoni (mathematics, Fordham U., US) presents a textbook or tutorial for college students, teaching assistants, adjunct instructors or others who would like more mathematics and less application than most texts provide when introducing elementary combinatorics. It can also be used as a supplement to remedy the deficiencies of a core text. The topics include sets, permutations, problems combining techniques, complement counting, algebra and counting, derangements, probability trees, Bayes' theorem, and subjective truth.
