This book presents methods for solving counting problems and other problems that involve discrete structures. Using examples, problems, theorems, and proofs, Erickson (Mathematics, Truman State University) illustrates the relationship of discrete structures to algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. In each chapter, the author presents a mathematical teaser that has a surprising, stunning, elegant, or unusual result, and provides exercises that range from easy to challenging. Topics covered include the upward extension of Pascal's triangle, a recurrence relation for powers of Fibonacci numbers, ways to make change for a million dollars, integer triangles, the probability of a perfect bridge hand, higher-dimensional tic-tac-toe, animal achievement and avoidance games, and an algorithm for solving Sudoku puzzles and polycube packing problems.
