Resources for Combinatorics
By BreadFirstSearch, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hello Everyone,
I got advice from my friends to start learning some basics maths before I start competitive programming. One such topic I was suggested was Combinatorics. I tried learning from a few sources but was finding some difficulty. I was wondering if anyone could provide me some sources to learn combinatorics from.
Thanks!

I think you should not wait, just start with competitive programming. Solve problem with tag of combinatorics and you will gradually learn from editorials.

Combinatorics is not essential content to get started in competitive programming. When you start to solve exercise you will see the things you need to know.

First you have to know the basics of the language and what is the focus of competitive programming. (And have basic math skills)
