Combinatorics and Probability cover

This volume celebrating the 60th birthday of Béla Bollobás presents the state of the art in combinatorics.

In a highly distinguished career Béla Bollobás has made, and continues to make, many significant contributions to combinatorics. This volume provides a wealth of insight to the current state of the art in the wide range of topics on which his work has had a major influence.Combinatorics is an area of mathematics involving an impressive breadth of ideas, and it encompasses topics ranging from codes and circuit design to algorithmic complexity and algebraic graph theory. In a highly distinguished career Béla Bollobás has made, and continues to make, many significant contributions to combinatorics, and this volume reflects the wide range of topics on which his work has had a major influence. It arises from a conference organized to mark his 60th birthday and the thirty-one articles contained here are of the highest calibre. That so many excellent mathematicians have contributed is testament to the very high regard in which Béla Bollobás is held. Students and researchers across combinatorics and related fields will find that this volume provides a wealth of insight to the state of the art.

'On top of the quality of the papers, the book is worth reading for its long foreword.' Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum
'… this reviewer was very impressed, and even surprised, by the breadth of the articles of the collection. (Of course, the depth is impressive, too, but that is not surprising, given the pedigree of the contributors.)' MAA Reviews
