O lecture notes

I will post the lecture notes below as they become available. Next to each one I also list the (highly) recommended reading - the book will usually discuss things that I don't, and I often will say things not in the book as well. (When combinatorialists say "EC1" and "EC2", they usually mean Stanley's "Enumerative Combinatorics" Volumes 1 and 2, respectively.)
