Algebra, Logic and Combinatorics

"The articles are all quite well-written and informative. In these days of increasing mathematical specialization, it's always nice to find something that helps bridge the gap between disciplines. It's even nicer when the contents are of the quality of these articles. This is an interesting, enjoyable and valuable book." Mathematical Association of America This book leads readers from a basic foundation to an advanced level understanding of algebra, logic and combinatorics. Perfect for graduate or PhD mathematical-science students looking for help in understanding the fundamentals of the topic, it also explores more specific areas such as invariant theory of finite groups, model theory, and enumerative combinatorics. Algebra, Logic and Combinatorics is the third volume of the Ltcc Advanced Mathematics Series. This series is the first to provide advanced introductions to mathematical science topics to advanced students of mathematics. Edited by the three joint heads of the London Taught Course Centre for PhD Students in the Mathematical Sciences (Ltcc), each book supports readers in broadening their mathematical knowledge outside of their immediate research disciplines while also covering specialized key areas.
