Integrating parametric, algebraic, and projective curves, this title presents topics range from conics, higher algebraic and transcendental curves, to the properties of parametric curves, the classification of limacons, envelopes, and to projective curves, their relationship to algebraic curves, and their application to asymptotes and boundedness.

Builds the foundation in matrix algebra needed by freshman students in mathematics, physics, and computer science and by upper-level business and social science students. This book presents the material with pedagogical clarity, many figures and diagrams, and interrelated examples.

An introduction to a number of interesting and important topics in algebraic combinatorics, written to be accessible to beginning graduate students. The first half introduces the characteristic and matchings polynomial of a graph.
