Editing Algebraic enumeration

'''Algebraic enumeration''' is a subfield of [[enumeration]] that deals with finding exact formulas for the number of [[combinatorics|combinatorial objects]] of a given type, rather than estimating this number [[asymptotic analysis|asymptotically]]. Methods of finding these formulas include [[generating function]]s and the solution of [[recurrence relation]]s. The field involves bijections, power series and formal [[Laurent series]]. <ref>{{citation
