List of papers. Most of these papers are now available as pdf files, thanks to the efforts of (1) Arthur L. B. Yang (杨立波) and his colleagues at the Center for Combinatorics, Nankai University, (2) Shirley Entzminger, and (3) Darij Grinberg.

Transparencies from recent talks (beginning 1997)

Enumerative Combinatorics : Some information on a two-volume book I have written.👉 UPDATED! Additional problems for EC1 and EC2 (version of 15 July 2024).

Catalan Numbers: a monograph on Catalan numbers published by Cambridge University Press on March 26, 2015 (Errata and Addenda)

Hyperplane arrangements: lecture notes for graduate students.

Bijective proof problems: a list of almost 250 problems on bijective proofs, with around 27 open problems (version of 18 August 2009). Solutions to many of these problems, compiled by S. Dimitrov, L. Grisales, R. Posada, and M. Schleppy, are available here.

Algebraic Combinatorics: information on an undergraduate textbook, including errata and online Chapter 13 entitled "A glimpse of combinatorial commutative algebra"

Conversational Problem Solving, a dialogue between a professor and eight undergraduate students at a summer problem-solving camp, loosely based on my own experience teaching the problem-solving seminars 18.S34 and 18.A34 at M.I.T. Errata.
