Erdős himself made many suggestions for the book, but died before its publication. Download PDF Discrete Mathematics book full free. The third edition benefitted especially from input by David Bevan, Anders Björner, Dietrich Braess, John Cosgrave, Hubert Kalf, Günter Pickert, Alistair Sinclair, and Herb Wilf. … this one is a great collection of remarkable results with really nice proofs. Introduction. It has gone through six editions in English, and has been translated into Persian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian… From the citation on the occasion of the 2018 "Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition" “This book is the fourth edition of Aigner and Ziegler’s attempt to find proofs that Erdos would find appealing. Proofs from THE BOOK contains 32 sections (45 in the sixth edition), each devoted to one theorem but often containing multiple proofs and related results. The authors have done an excellent job choosing topics and proofs that Erdos would have appreciated. It spans a broad range of mathematical fields: number theory, geometry, analysis, combinatorics and graph theory. This revised and enlarged sixth edition of Proofs from THE BOOK features an entirely new chapter on Van der Waerden’s permanent conjecture, as well as additional, highly original and delightful proofs in other chapters. A few years ago, we suggested to him to write up a first (and very modest) approximation to The Book. suggested by our readers, for the present sixth edition we wrote an entirely new chapter with Gurvits’s proof of Van der Waerden’s permanent conjec-ture, used this to derive asymptotics for the number of Latin squares, added a new, fourth proof for the Euler theorem n≥1 1 n2 = π 2/6, and present

The book is illustrated by Karl Heinrich Hofmann. Our book was supposed to appear in March 1998 as a present to Erdos’ 85th birthday. This revised and enlarged sixth edition of  Proofs from THE BOOK  features an entirely new chapter on Van der Waerden’s permanent conjecture, as well as additional, highly original and delightful proofs in other chapters. The Book. From the citation on the occasion of the 2018 "Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition" He was enthusiastic about the idea and, characteristically, went to work immediately, filling page after page with his suggestions.
