The method of generating functions is a powerful tool in the study of discrete mathematics. In this lecture, I will give a description of its basics as well as some applications to problems in combinatorics. The only prerequisite for this lecture is some basic knowledge of infinite series, so all undergraduates are welcome to attend. Also, for those who are interested in this topic, I would like to recommend Herbert Wilf's monograph "Generatingfunctionology" (3rd Ed., A K Peters, Ltd., Wellesley, MA, 2006).
