I love this book
By Sa Chen on November 29, 2002
Format: Paperback
Two weeks ago I ordered about 10 math books from Amazon, and this book is the only one I have been reading-- I just cannot stop reading it.
It is not difficult to understand and it has very interesting problems. The title fits the book very well. Although I am taking statistics class in school, my understanding of combinations and permutations was very shallow before I started reading this book. I really appreciate the author. Thank you, Prof. Ivan Niven. I hope there are more math books like this one. And I wish our math textbooks can be this fun. Highyly recommend it to anybody who loves having fun with math.

Gem of a Book, GRAB IT!!!
By kiran on March 29, 2001
Format: Paperback
There are few books which can even come close to the lucidity and simplicity with which Ivan Niven explains the basics of combinations and permutations.He even puts forth difficult topics like Generating Polynomials in the most simple and understandable fashion.No doubt this is a prescribed book at Harvard!! It has personally helped me in preparing and coming out successful for admission to the Indian Institute of Technology institutes,which is one of the toughest examinations in the world . The book is suitable for anyone who wants to understand the maths involved in making a choice.This will be of great help for High School students, Under Graduates,Graduates and teachers of Mathematics.A gem from Ivan Niven.

Great book
By Learner on April 16, 2006
Format: Paperback
It is one the best books around for learning permutations and combinations. It is neither verbose nor cryptic and every line packs a punch. The structure is very cogent with every topic being the logical consequence of the previous. I still do not understand the first reviewer's problem with this book. It surely is a must read.
