Discrete Mathematics is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal in the broad area of discrete mathematics,combinatorics,graph theory,and their applications. It was established in 1971 and is published by North-Holland Publishing Company. It publishes both short notes,full length contributions,as well as survey articles. In addition,the journal publishes a number of special issues each year dedicated to a particular topic. Although originally it published articles in French and German,it now allows only English language articles. The editor-in-chief is Douglas West.

Joan Huber is an American sociologist and professor emeritus of sociology at Ohio State University. Huber served as the 79th president of the American Sociological Association in 1989. Huber taught at the University of Notre Dame from 1967 to 1971,eventually moving to Illinois,where she taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. While instructing numerous sociology courses at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign,Huber served as the director of Women's Studies Program for two years (1978–1980),and then became the head of the Department of Sociology in 1979 until 1983. In 1984,Huber left Illinois for an opportunity at the Ohio State University,where she became the dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences,coordinating dean of the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences,and senior vice president for academic affairs and university provost. During her time,Huber was president of Sociologists for Women in Society from 1972 to 1974,the Midwest Sociological Society from 1979 to 1980,and the American Sociological Association from 1988 to 1989. Being highly recognized for her excellence,in 1985 Huber was given the Jessie Bernard Award by the American Sociological Association. Not only was Huber an instructor of sociology at multiple institutions or president of different organization,she also served different editorial review boards,research committees,and counseled and directed many institutions on their sociology departments.
