Contents:
1. Initial EnCOUNTers with combinatorial reasoning -- 2. Selections, arrangements, and distributions -- 3. Binomial series and generating functions -- 4. Alternating sums, inclusion-exclusion principle, rook polynomials, and fibonacci nim -- 5. Recurrence relations -- 6. Special numbers -- 7. Linear spaces and recurrence sequences -- 8. Counting with symmetries -- Index of notations -- Appendices -- Index.
Summary: The book utilizes real world examples with problems ranging from basic calculations that are designed to develop fundamental concepts to more challenging exercises that allow for a deeper exploration of complex combinatorial situations. Simple cases are treated first before moving on to general and more advanced cases.
