We have a solid foundation of the power series and how to manipulate the fundamental identity to write a series as a closed-form ... Today we look at the bell numbers, the number of ways to partition of a set of n elements, and the power series of the function ... This is an introduction to generating functions and a combinatorial technique known as the symbolic method. This technique ...
