Had to my Bachelor dissertation on this and only got 58% because even my presentation was shit and it became clear when actually questioned by a professor on it I could only mumble "well, the creation and annihilation operators do this..." but didn't actually understand what it meant.

No, it is explicitly about skipping counting and using more advanced functions to calculate large sets that would be incredibly difficult and time consuming to count.

Out of AGCN, C actually measures mathematical ability. You can "learn" the other 3 and larp as smart, but with combinatorics you either "get it" or you are a mathlet. Brutal

Is the A in that acronym algebra or analysis? I'm assuming it's "Analysis, Geometry, Combinatorics, Number theory" but it could be algebra as well.

Do you have a good reference for "starting" upper undergrad/early grad-level combinatorics that doesn't rely on significant algebra/algebraic topology prereqs (which I don't have, as I'm a lowly EE slowly working through self study Algebra: Chapter 0)?

Great, I just finished learning how to count and now you eggheads have some new, even more arcane method to learn.

Well, now I can imagine why gods have multiple hands... My fingers almost started to falling out of a window, they didn't even fit my room when I tried to count this on fingers...

If you see somebody without fingers in future, think of him as somebody who helped me count.

I need 200 fingers to count that, that's like 40 hands, it really was trouble not wroth it.

oh hey, maybe someone in this thread can answer my questions

lisp is supposedly based on lambda calculus. the language forth is supposedly based on combinatorial logic. is this the same shit as combinatorics? it might sound like a stupid question but internet searches rapidly turn into a clusterfuck about it. if so, can anyone point me in the direction of good resources/starting points?
