Computing the Continuous Discretely Integer-Point Enumeration in Polyhedra

“This book is an outstanding book on counting integer points of polytopes … . The book contains lots of exercises with very helpful hints. Another essential feature of the book is a vast collection of open problems on different aspects of integer point counting and related areas. … The book is reader-friendly written, self-contained and contains numerous beautiful illustrations. The reader is always accompanied with deep research jokes by famous researchers and valuable historical notes.” (Oleg Karpenkov, zbMATH 1339.52002, 2016)

— MAA Reviews

“The book is written as an accessible and engaging textbook, with many examples, historical notes, pithy quotes, commentary integrating the material, exercises, open problems and an extensive bibliography.”

— Zentralblatt MATH

“This beautiful book presents, at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates, a fairly complete introduction to the problem of counting lattice points inside a convex polyhedron.”

— Mathematical Reviews

“Many departments recognize the need for capstone courses in which graduating students can see the tools they have acquired come together in some satisfying way. Beck and Robins have written the perfect text for such a course.”
