Bose) of Introduction to Combinatorial Theory, has co-written (with Professor Frank DeMeyer) the materials used in our business mathematics course and has written the materials for our course in mathematics for social scientists.

Professor Manvel's research interests include graph theory and combinatorial theory. He is also a reviewer and referee for several professional journals.
