5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to the design theory world
This book is filling a gap in the literature to learn the basic techniques in combinatorial designs. It is accessible for any student with a minimum background in mathematics, this makes the book appropriate as a textbook on the subject. The exercises are very well designed too.

This review is from: Design Theory (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications) (Hardcover)
This book is filling a gap in the literature to learn the basic techniques in combinatorial designs. It is accessible for any student with a minimum background in mathematics, this makes the book appropriate as a textbook on the subject. The exercises are very well designed too.

The bibliography has been carefully selected and any of the papes referenced is classic in this subject.

For all these reasons I consider that this book is the right door to start learning about the wonderful world of combinatorial designs.

Seems like this book was written for those who know combinatorics already, not good for beginners.
