Summary

Complex Networks uvm.edu/~pdodds/teaching/courses/2014-01UVM-303/ - A read-through and work-through of Herbert Saul Wilf's (1931-2012) textbook A lesson on generating functions, and clever uses of complex numbers for counting Help fund future projects: ... in this video we discuss and example that uses ordinary generating functions and exponential generating functions! This is an introduction to generating functions and a combinatorial technique known as the symbolic method. This technique ... We move through the basics of Probability Generating Functions, trying a few things out with some simple examples of coin flips ... Here we look at the first exercise in chapter 1 where we examine the Eulerian numbers, related to the Bernoulli numbers, ... Here we continue to look at the Bell numbers b(n), the number of ways to partition a set of n elements, so named after Eric Temple ...
