This 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, and serves as an introduction to maps as a combinatorial structure. The authors' clear readable exposition and overview of enumerative theory makes this collection accessible even to professionals who are not specialists. For researchers and students working with maps, the Atlas provides a ready source of data for testing conjectures and exploring the algorithmic and algebraic properties of maps.This text provides a complete collection of drawings of smaller maps along with their number of rootings and serves as an introduction to maps as a combinatorial structure. It presents an introduction to the enumerative theory of maps and gives an explanation of their axiomatization and encoding.
