About The Book

This insightful book delves into four fundamental mathematical concepts that form the backbone of various fields in mathematics: symbolic sums, recurrence (difference) equations, generating functions, and asymptotic estimates. These concepts play a significant role across a multitude of areas, ranging from pure mathematics to practical real-world problems like the analysis of algorithms.

The book covers the key features of these concepts both in isolation and in combination, exploring how they can be mastered using both traditional paper and pencil methods as well as computer programs. Through clear explanations and examples, the author helps readers understand their applications in various domains.

Intended as an algorithmic supplement to the renowned book Concrete Mathematics by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik, this work offers a deeper dive into topics essential for advanced studies in mathematics, computer science, and algorithm analysis.

This book is perfect for those seeking to explore mathematical concepts with a hands-on, practical approach, providing valuable insights for students, researchers, and professionals alike.
