Overview
* Stanley represents a broad perspective with respect to two significant topics from Combinatorial Commutative Algebra:
1) The theory of invariants of a torus acting linearly on a polynomial ring, and
2) The face ring of a simplicial complex
* In this new edition, the author further develops some interesting properties of face rings with application to combinatorics

Provides an overview of connections between commutative algebra and combinatorics. Topics include linear equations in nonnegative integers; integer stochastic matrices; the volume of polytopes; combinatorial reciprocity theorems; and the face ring of a simplicial complex. Features problems and an introductory chapter on algebra, combinatorics, and topology. This second edition contains a chapter surveying recent work in face rings and simplicial complexes, and an application to spline theory. Annotation c.
