Combinatorics

by T. P. McDonough (Editor), V. C. Mavron (Editor)

Overview

This volume is a record of the papers presented to the fourth British Combinatorial Conference held in Aberystwyth in July 1973. Contributors from all over the world took part and the result is a very useful and up-to-date account of what is happening in the field of combinatorics. A section of problems illustrates some of the topics in need of further investigation.
