Summary Note	Every year there is at least one combinatorics problem in each of the major international mathematical olympiads. These problems can only be solvedÂ with a very high level of wit and creativity. This book explains all the problem-solving techniques necessary to tackleÂ these problems, with clear examples from recent contests. It also includes a large problem section for each topic, including hints and full solutions so that the reader can practice the material covered in the book. The material will be useful not only to participants in the olympiads and their coaches but also in university courses on combinatorics.:
Contents note	Introduction -- 1 First concepts -- 2 The pigeonhole principle -- 3 Invariants -- 4 Graph theory -- 5 Functions -- 6 Generating Functions -- 7 Partitions -- 8 Hints for the problems -- 9 Solutions to the problems -- Notation -- Further reading -- Index.
