About the Author

Jason I. Brown is a professor of mathematics at Dalhousie University. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and has written over 70 refereed articles. His research interests include graphs, hypergraphs, partial order, finite topologies, and simplicial complexes, with a focus on the applications of other fields of mathematics to discrete problems. His mathematical research that uncovered how the Beatles played the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night" was featured in various media, including NPR and BBC radio, Guitar Player Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal website.

Editorial Reviews

"The book is a collection of examples, each of which shows either how discrete structures interact with each other or how discrete structures interact with other parts of mathematics. … I am certain I will use some examples I found in this book when I teach combinatorics in the upcoming semester."
—Miklós Bóna, MAA Reviews, December 2013
