Synopsis:
The book is divided into two chapters, the first one is on ‘Combinatorics’ and the second one is on ‘Probability’. It covers the basics of both of the branches of mathematics. The book is intended to provide deep insights into the matter as well as prepare a student to compete in National Math Olympiad and such competitions. Also, anyone with a genuine interest in mathematics will find something new and intersting in the book. The book tries to relate the abstract mathematical concepts of combinatorics and probability to our day-to-day life, and thus may act as an eye-opener. It will ‘probably’ change your world-view.
