This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the rich and beautiful area of hyperplane
arrangement theory where discrete mathematics in the form of combinatorics and arithmetic
meets continuous mathematics in the form of the topology and Hodge theory of complex algebraic
varieties. The topics discussed in this book range from elementary combinatorics and discrete
geometry to more advanced material on mixed Hodge structures logarithmic connections and
Milnor fibrations. The author covers a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of space
with a focus on defining concepts carefully and giving proofs of theorems in detail where
needed. Including a number of surprising results and tantalizing open problems this timely
book also serves to acquaint the reader with the rapidly expanding literature on the subject.
Hyperplane Arrangements will be particularly useful to graduate students and researchers who
are interested in algebraic geometry or algebraic topology. The book contains numerous
exercises at the end of each chapter making it suitable for courses as well as self-study.
