The new 6th edition of Applied Combinatorics builds on the previous editions with more in depth analysis of computer systems in order to help develop proficiency in basic discrete math problem solving.
As one of the most widely used book in combinatorial problems, this edition explains how to reason and model combinatorically while stressing the systematic analysis of different possibilities, exploration of the logical structure of a problem, and ingenuity. Although important uses of combinatorics in computer science, operations research, and finite probability are mentioned, these applications are often used solely for motivation. Numerical examples involving the same concepts use more interesting settings such as poker probabilities or logical games.
This book is designed for use by students with a wide range of ability and maturity (sophomores through beginning graduate students). The stronger the students, the harder the exercises that can be assigned. The book can be used for one-quarter, two-quarter, or one-semester course depending on how much material is used.

Fast-paced action movie starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mickey
Rourke. The Courier (Morgan) has earned his nickname through a
remarkable ability to track down individuals and deliver messages
and packages. The Courier is particularly prized, in certain
circles, for his refusal to ask questions or query the legality of
the material he carries. However, when he is handed a package by a
branch of the Russian mafia and asked to deliver it to an
especially notorious underworld figure, The Courier's skills will
be tested to the limit. He believes he has made a breakthrough when
he gets in contact with Maxwell (Mickey Rourke), a former associate
of the elusive figure he is seeking, but how far can Maxwell be
trusted?
In the spirit of the author's massively popular Twitter thread,
Tucker Shaw's When You Call My Name is a heartrending novel about
two gay teens coming of age in New York City in 1990 at the height
of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Mary
H. K. Choi. Film fanatic Adam is seventeen and being asked out on
his first date--and the guy is cute. Heart racing, Adam accepts,
quickly falling in love with Callum like the movies always
promised. Fashion-obsessed Ben is eighteen and has just left his
home upstate after his mother discovers his hidden stash of gay
magazines. When he comes to New York City, Ben's sexuality begins
to feel less like a secret and more like a badge of honor. Then
Callum disappears, leaving Adam heartbroken, and Ben finds out his
new world is more closed-minded than he thought. When Adam finally
tracks Callum down, he learns the guy he loves is very ill. And in
a chance meeting near the hospital where Callum is being treated,
Ben and Adam meet, forever changing each other's lives. As both
begin to open their eyes to the possibilities of queer love and
life, they realize sometimes the only people who can help you are
the people who can really see you--in all your messy glory. A love
letter to New York and the liberating power of queer friendship,
When You Call My Name is a hopeful novel about the pivotal moments
of our youth that break our hearts and the people who help us put
them back together.
Did you know that close to half of today's jobs in the U.S. could
be done by robots and that proportion is rapidly increasing? It is
quite possible that about half of today's high school graduates
will not have the knowledge or skills needed to get a decent job
when they graduate. Tomorrow's high school graduates will be able
to thrive in this environment, but only if school superintendents,
central office executives, and principals use the strategies
employed by the world's top-performing education systems to build
the high-performance education systems today's students will need
to succeed tomorrow. In Leading High-Performance School Systems:
Lessons from the World's Best, Marc Tucker, a leading expert on
top-performing school systems with more than 30 years of experience
studying the global economy and education systems worldwide,
details how top-performing school systems have met head-on the
challenges facing school leaders today. You'll learn why our
current system is obsolete, explore the knowledge and skills needed
to design and build first-rate education systems, and gain a solid
understanding of the key elements of high-performance school
systems, including the following: A powerful, coherent
instructional system with school-leaving certifications that mean
much more than today's high school diploma. Partnerships with
first-rate universities to ensure a steady supply of highly
capable, well-educated, and well-trained teachers. Schools
reorganized around highly qualified professional teachers with a
career ladder they can climb. High expectations and personalized
support to ensure that children arrive at each grade level ready to
learn. An equitable system that closes the gaps in student
performance. Vocational education for talented youth seeking an
applied, academically rigorous education. Leading High-Performance
School Systems is an invaluable resource for school leaders
preparing today's students for tomorrow's world. This book is a
copublication of ASCD and NCEE.
