This is a textbook for an introductory combinatorics course lasting one or two semesters. An extensive list of problems ranging from routine exercises to research questions is included. In each section there are also exercises that contain material not explicitly discussed in the preceding text so as to provide instructors with extra choices if they want to shift the emphasis of their course.Just as with the first three editions the new edition walks the reader through the classic parts of combinatorial enumeration and graph theory while also discussing some recent progress in the area on the one hand providing material that will help students learn the basic techniques and on the other hand showing that some questions at the forefront of research are comprehensible and accessible to the talented and hardworking undergraduate.
