Description: Maps are beguilingly simple structures with deep and ubiquitous
properties. They arise in an essential way in many areas of
mathematics and mathematical physics, but require considerable time
and computational effort to generate. Few collected drawings are
available for reference, and little has been written, in book form,
about their enumerative aspects.
An Atlas of the Smaller Maps in Orientable and Nonorientable
Surfaces is the first book to provide complete collections of maps
along with their vertex and face partitions, number of rootings,
and an index number for cross referencing. It provides an
explanation of axiomatization and encoding,… more…
