Combinatorics of Compositions and Words

Zusatztext ? contains a lot of hidden gems! which need to be explored. It is an advantage that the authors provide fragments of Maple and Mathematica code which would help such explorations. ? The book is written in an accessible style ? it is quite easy to use for the non-specialist in the area! given a basic computer science and/or mathematical background. It will be a useful reference for the researcher! as well as a very good textbook for a graduate-level course in the area. I recommend the book heartily to both specialists and beginning researchers in the area.-IACR Book Reviews! June 2011 Informationen zum Autor Silvia Heubach is a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Mathematics at the California State University, Los Angeles, where she received the Outstanding Professor Award in 1999/2000.
