Synopsis:

We illustrate methods based on combination of (CONtinuous) calculus and discrete (disCRETE) structures, so

calles concrete mathematics. Theorems are motivated by problems from informatics and they are illustrated on problems

from informatics.

Requirements:

4. Generating functions: ordinary, exponential, Dirichlet’s function

5. Methods of use of generating functions

6. Applications of generating functions to difference equations
