Combinatorics from the Ground Up: Counting, Proofs, and Enumeration
“A four-week, proof-centered path from elementary counting rules to recurrences, generating functions, and symmetry-based enumeration. Each module combines mathematical derivations with reproducible computational checks to build expert-level combinatorial reasoning.”
Foundations of Counting and Set-Based Reasoning
By the end of this module you will be able to translate finite counting problems into set operations, classify product, sum, complement, and bijection cases, and prove elementary counting identities.
Enumerative Techniques for Constraints and Overlaps
By the end of this module you will be able to solve constrained distribution and overlap-counting problems using inclusion-exclusion, stars and bars, pigeonhole arguments, and algorithmic verification.
Recurrences and Generating Functions
By the end of this module you will be able to derive and solve recurrence relations, construct ordinary and exponential generating functions, extract coefficients, and connect recursive structures to closed-form counts.
Combinatorial Structures, Partitions, and Symmetry
By the end of this module you will be able to analyze graphs, trees, integer partitions, and symmetric objects using degree arguments, Prüfer sequences, Ferrers diagrams, and Burnside's lemma.
