Combinatorics Book Recommendations

In My Humble Opinion
1

I just started a semester in Combinatorics and am looking for recommendations for books that clearly present the concepts. The textbook I am using is “Combinatorics: A Guided Tour” by David Mazur, which is great, but I would like more problems to work on. This is a slippery subject for me (I’ve been exposed to counting before in other math classes), and I feel that the more problems I work, the better my chances of understanding it are.

Have you been to The Combinatorics Net yet?

No, I haven’t (though I just took a look). Thank you! This looks extremely helpful.

Who’s the intended audience for the class? I can think of a few reasonable other books, but they range over different levels.

It’s a graduate-level math course at a state college.

Pfft. This is all you’ll ever need to know.
