                  University in Spring 1995. The topics covered
                  fall into roughly three parts corresponding to
                  the organisation of these notes: 
                  \begin{itemize}
                  \item Part I: {\bf Enumeration}. The techniques
                    covered here were inclusion--exclusion,
                    M{\"o}bius Inversion and Generating
                    functions. 
                  \item Part II: {\bf Graph Theory}. This
                    consisted of a fairly standard set of topics
                    in Graph theory including trees, matchings,
                    Euler and Hamilton paths, (vertex and edge)
                    colouring, Ramsey theory, planar graphs. 
                  \item Part III: {\bf Linear Algebraic Methods}.
                    In this somewhat novel part, simple linear
                    algebraic methods were applied to
                    combinatorial problems.

                  was based on the number of operations in a

                  Winskel's semantics course. It is, in the
                  author's view, the very minimum of category
                  theory one needs to know if one is going to use
                  it sensibly. Nevertheless, two topics are
                  breathed on, which may be skipped: there is a
                  glimpse of categorical logic, and there is a
                  treatment of the $\lambda$-calculus in
                  cartesian closed categories. These are there to
                  give the reader at least a very rough idea of
                  how the theory ``works''. The text contains a
                  bit over hundred exercises, varying in
                  difficulty, which supplement the treatment and
                  are warmly recommended. There is an elaborate
