{\ }\\
This a list of references, informal and by no means exhaustive, that you may want to consult in looking for good topics for your  talks. It's in fact just a sample, both in terms of the texts and the possible subjects of interest for this course in Discrete Mathematics. Therefore, be sure to also take a look at  other texts in Combinatorics and Discrete Math., and to possibly find some topic(s) that you, personally, like best in this area. Notice also that I will not include any journals in this list (with the possible exception of the more elementary Amer. Math. Monthly). Those will be introduced at a later stage, when you are ready to give your presentations on materials from research articles.

\item I. Pak's ``Partition bijections, a survey'' (Ramanujan Journal, 2006, no. 1, pp. 5-75. Also available on Dr. Pak's page at UCLA)
\item R. Stanley's ``Enumerative Combinatorics'', Vol. I (an almost final draft of the second edition is currently available on Dr. Stanley's website)
\item R. Diestel's ``Graph Theory'' (GTM, Springer, 4th Edition, 2010)
\item My joint monograph ``On the Shape of a pure $O$-sequence'' (on the arXiv it's paper 1003.3825; soon the same link will contain the final version to appear as a Memoir of the Amer. Math. Soc.)
\item E. Miller-B. Sturmfels' ``Combinatorial Commutative Algebra'' (GTM, no. 227, Springer, 2005)
\item N. Alon-J. Spencer's ``The probabilistic method'', third edition, Wiley
\item M. Aigner-G. Ziegler's ``Proofs from the book'', third edition, Springer (possibly only for the first seminar, and necessarily on something concerning Discrete Math.)
\item Amer. Math. Monthly (again, possibly only for the first seminar, and necessarily on something concerning Discrete Math.)
\item Any topic \textbf{you} like in Combinatorics/Discrete Math.!
