Each chapter leads to techniques that can be applied by hand to small examples or programmed for larger problems. Along the way, the reader will use linear algebra and graph theory, develop formal power series, solve combinatorial problems, visit Perron--Frobenius theory, discuss pseudorandom number generation and integer factorization, and apply the Fast Fourier Transform to multiply polynomials quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book contains many worked examples and over 250 exercises. While these exercises are accessible to students and have been class-tested, they also suggest further problems and possible research topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Cull,Mary Flahive,Robby Robson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387232346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387232348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Paul Cull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427389358335,"sku":"9780387232348","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc6eb837-90eb-44dc-aed4-aefa63fb9972.jpg?v=1761579255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/difference-equations-paul-cull-9780387232348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
