Re: number of solutions to a linear equation

Graph theory is a part of combinatorics.

Rewind your life back to Class XI. You would not have believed that solutions to x+y+z=10 is combinatorics. Would you? You'd have thought it is algebra.

In the same way, you probably do not see yet why graph theory is a part of combinatorics, but you'll later.

Yes because you go through it and take out what you can. You do not have to digest all of it. It is the best introduction for generating functions and recurrences I know and besides if you get stuck just come in here and ask.

Re: number of solutions to a linear equation

Why not download it, it is much easier to carry?

Re: number of solutions to a linear equation

This note can provide some help finding the book on the web

Hahahha, thanks! Professors are not the only ones having beards, though.

Mathematics is a young man's game.

I agree with G.H. Hardy that mathematics is a young man's game (except for the "man" part), but "young" does not mean "under thirty", and not even "under forty". "Young" means, "young at heart", and willing to learn new things and new methodologies and master new technology. If you will follow my advice, I am sure that you would achieve much more than your already very impressive (albeit mostly boring) feats, and your future achievements will not only be technically challending, but also exciting, not just to you and to your thirty cronies, but to all of us common folks.
