N2  - "This book leads the reader from the basic notations to a variety of topics in combinatorial enumeration, ranging from algebra to statistical physics. Its aim is to introduce the student to a fascinating field, and to be a source of information for the professional mathematician who wants to learn more about the subject. There are 666 exercises, and as a special feature every chapter ends with a highlight, discussing a particularly beautiful or famous result."--Jacket
