This book is based on a graduate education program on computational
discrete mathematics run for several years in Berlin, Germany, as a
joint effort of theoretical computer scientists and mathematicians in
order to support doctoral students and advanced ongoing education in the
field of discrete mathematics and algorithmics.
The 12 selected lectures by leading researchers presented in this book
provide recent research results and advanced topics in a coherent and
consolidated way. Among the areas covered are combinatorics, graph
theory, coding theory, discrete and computational geometry,
optimization, and algorithmic aspects of algebra.
