This book is a gentle introduction to the enumerative part of
combinatorics suitable for study at the advanced undergraduate or
beginning graduate level. In addition to covering all the standard
techniques for counting combinatorial objects, the text contains
material from the research literature which has never before
appeared in print, such as the use of quotient posets to study the
Möbius function and characteristic polynomial of a partially
ordered set, or the connection between quasisymmetric functions and
pattern avoidance. The book assumes minimal background, and a first
course in abstract algebra should suffice. The exposition is very
reader friendly: keeping a moderate pace, using lots of examples,
emphasizing recurring themes, and frankly expressing the delight
the author takes in mathematics in general and combinatorics in
particular.
