Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications

This is the concluding volume of the second edition of the standard text on design theory. Since the first edition there has been extensive development of the theory and this book has been thoroughly rewritten to reflect this. In particular the growing importance of discrete mathematics to many parts of engineering and science have made designs a useful tool for applications, and this fact has been acknowledged here with the inclusion of an additional chapter on applications. It is suitable for advanced courses and as a reference work, not only for researchers in discrete mathematics or finite algebra, but also for those working in computer and communications engineering and other mathematically oriented disciplines. Exercises are included throughout, and the book concludes with an extensive and updated bibliography of well over 1800 items.
Design Theory: Volume 1
by Thomas Beth, Deiter Jungnickel, and Hanfried Lenz
Published 26 October 2011
This is the first volume of the second edition of the standard text on design theory. Since the first edition there has been extensive development of the theory and this book has been thoroughly rewritten and extended during that time. In particular the growing importance of discrete mathematics to many parts of engineering and science have made designs a useful tool for applications. It is suitable for advanced courses and as a reference work, not only for researchers in discrete mathematics or finite algebra, but also for those working in computer and communications engineering and other mathematically oriented disciplines. Exercises are included throughout, and the book concludes with an extensive and updated bibliography of well over 1800 items.
Now released in a special low-priced edition, this comprehensive treatment of the theory of combinatorial designs will be welcomed by all mathematicians working in combinatorics. The reader is expected to be familiar with basic algebra, but other than that, the work is self-contained, so is well-suited for advanced courses or as a reference: exercises are included throughout. The book ends with a comprehensive and thorough bibliography of over 500 items.
