Mathematics and Computer Science III: Algorithms, Trees, Combinatorics and Probabilities. Series: Trends in Mathematics (Mathematics, Computer Science). Edited by Drmota, M.; Flajolet, P.; Gardy, D.; Gittenberger, B. 2004, XV, 554 p., Hardcover ISBN: 3-7643-7128-5 A Birkhäuser book.

From Birkhäuser-Springer: "This book contains invited and contributed papers on combinatorics, random graphs and networks, algorithms analysis and trees, branching processes, constituting the Proceedings of the 3rd International Colloquium on Mathematics and Computer Science that held in Vienna in September 2004. It addresses a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. They will find here current questions in Computer Science and the related modern and powerful mathematical methods. The range of applications is very wide and goes beyond Computer Science."

Mathematics and Computer Science II: Algorithms, Trees, Combinatorics and Probabilities. Brigitte, Chauvin, Philippe Flajolet, Danièle Gardy, A. Mokkadem (Editors). ISBN 3-7643-6933-7 (Published by Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel, 2002. Series: Trends in Mathematics. 560 pages. Hardcover). This represents the Proceedings of theColloquium held in Versailles, September 2002 under the same name as the book.

From Birkhäuser: "This is the second volume in a series of innovative proceedings entirely devoted to the connections between mathematics and computer science. Here mathematics and computer science are directly confronted and joined to tackle intricate problems in computer science with deep and innovative mathematical approaches.
The book serves as an outstanding tool and a main information source for a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. It provides an overview of the current questions in computer science and the related modern and powerful mathematical methods. The range of applications is very wide and reaches beyond computer science."
