Description:
This book brings together many areas of mathematics that focus on methods to compute the number of integral points in suitable families or variable polytopes. The book is written by two distinguished authors and excellent examples drive the exposition.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book brings together several areas of mathematics that have developed mostly independently over the past 30 years. ... the book is self-contained. ... provide an illuminating class of examples, which are investigated throughout the book. The writing is consistently clear, with careful attention paid to detail. ... the determined reader will find it an ultimately rewarding read, and certainly worth the effort." (Alexander I. Suciu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 m)
"This book revisits the paper of Dahmen and Micchelli and reproves some of their results ... by different methods. ... The book is written at a relatively elementary level ... . A motivated reader will find it well worth the effort." (G. K. Sankaran, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1217, 2011)
