This book, based on the course given by the author at the College
of Mathematics of the Independent University of Moscow, introduces
the reader to the language of generating functions, which is
nowadays the main language of enumerative combinatorics. It starts
with definitions, simple properties, and numerous examples of
generating functions. It then discusses topics, such as formal
grammars, generating functions in several variables, partitions and
decompositions, and the exclusion-inclusion principle. In the final
chapter, the author describes applications of generating functions
to enumeration of trees, plane graphs, and graphs embedded in
two-dimensional surfaces. Throughout the book, the reader is
motivated by interesting examples rather than by general theories.
It also contains a lot of exercises to help the reader master the
material. Little beyond the standard calculus course is necessary
to understand the book. It can serve as a text for a one-semester
undergraduate course in combinatorics.
