This course introduces the basic techniques and modes of combinatorial problem-solving important to the field of computer science and mathematical sciences such as operations research. Applications of combinatorics are also related to fields such as genetics, organic chemistry, electrical engineering and political science. Combinatorial enumeration and logical structure are stressed. Applications and examples provide the structure of progression through topics which include counting methods, generating functions, recurrence relations, and enumeration techniques.
