Putnam Practice

Meeting: 4pm-5pm Friday October 9, Room MSC E306

This is our sixth meeting. Our topic is generating functions. I prepared a document with three sections:

I will release the “full” version during the meeting. The “short” version ends early, after the first three problems (so there are no solutions). I will distribute that by email. So if you have time, please take an early look at the short version before our meeting.

Some other resources:

A nice handout from CMU, 2016.

The book generatingfunctionology by Herbert Wilf (1994).
