Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science

Written in an appealing and informal style, this text is a self-contained second course on mathematical methods dealing with topics in linear algebra and multivariate calculus that can be applied to statistics, operations research, computer science, econometrics and mathematical economics. The prerequisites are elementary courses in linear algebra and calculus, but the author has maintained a balance between a rigorous theoretical and a cookbook approach, giving concrete and geometric explanations, so that the material will be accessible to students who have not studied mathematics in depth. Indeed, as much of the material is normally available only in technical textbooks, this book will have wide appeal to students whose interest is in application rather than theory. The book is amply supplied with examples and exercises: complete solutions to a large proportion of these are provided.

This book includes the probability of events, discrete random variables and their distribution, continuous random variables and their distribution, digital characteristics of random variables, law of large numbers and central limit theorem, sampling distribution, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing.All of the authors of this book have the background of visiting British and American university. The writing language is easy to understand, and the content has moderate difficulty.This book can be used for the teaching of probability and statistics courses of Sino-foreign cooperation projects and foreign student programs in universities of science and engineering (non-mathematics majors), as well as bilingual teaching of probability and statistics.本書內容包括事件的概率、離散型隨機變量及其分佈、連續型隨機變量及其分佈、隨機變量的數字特徵、大數定律與中心極限定理、抽樣分佈、參數估計和假設檢驗。本書編著者均有英美訪學背景，英文語言簡單易懂，寫作簡約，內容難易適中，便於學習。本書可供理工科大學(非數學專業)中外合作辦學項目和留

Higher-order networks describe the many-body interactions of a large variety of complex systems, ranging from the the brain to collaboration networks. Simplicial complexes are generalized network structures which allow us to capture the combinatorial properties, the topology and the geometry of higher-order networks. Having been used extensively in quantum gravity to describe discrete or discretized space-time, simplicial complexes have only recently started becoming the representation of choice for capturing the underlying network topology and geometry of complex systems. This Element provides an in-depth introduction to the very hot topic of network theory, covering a wide range of subjects ranging from emergent hyperbolic geometry and topological data analysis to higher-order dynamics. This Elements aims to demonstrate that simplicial complexes provide a very general mathematical framework to reveal how higher-order dynamics depends on simplicial network topology and geometry.
