The book concludes with a survey of recent developments on coloring graphs on surfaces.

William Trotter concentrates on combinatorial topics for finite partially ordered sets, and with dimension theory serving as a unifying theme, research on partially ordered sets or posets is linked to more traditional topics in combinatorial mathematics.

Theoretical analysis is supported by examples from different branches of physics: electrodynamics, fluid mechanics, acoustics, optics, and the mechanics of solids.

Suitable for computational scientists and engineers in addition to researchers in numerical linear algebra community, this title includes an introduction to tensor computations and fresh sections on: discrete Poisson solvers; pseudospectra; structured linear equation problems; structured eigenvalue problems; and, polynomial eigenvalue problems.
