Overview
Explains the tools necessary tools to solve olympiad combinatorics type problems, using clear examples from recent contests
Includes over 120 problems with hints and full, sometimes multiple, solutions
May be used by olympiad students and coaches but is also useful for university courses on combinatorics
Almost completely self-contained, requiring very little technical knowledge
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
From the reviews:
“Soberón (Univ. College London, UK) presents tools, techniques, and some tricks to tackle problems of varying difficulty in combinatorial mathematics in this well-written book. … Salient features include the wealth of examples, exercises, and problems and two additional chapters with hints and solutions to the problems. Valuable for all readers interested in combinatorics and useful as a course resource on the subject. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional mathematics collections.” (D. V. Chopra, Choice, Vol. 51 (4), December, 2013)
