Uploaded by Archives RSA Josephine Hill.Combinatorics is the study of sets, usually but not always finite, endowed with some kind of structure. For example, an ordering of the numbers 1 through n is the set of permutations. This set can be endowed with the algebraic structure of a group or the combinatorial structure of a partially ordered set. There are also natural ways to view the set of permutations as a graph.
