Thread: Combinatorics help! Textbook recommendation

I currently doing 1st year mathematics for computer science 1 and i have absolutely no idea about it. I was hoping if anyone here could recommend me a textbook for combinatorics which covers partition , inclusion-exclusion, pigeonhole principle , arrangements and selections.

My personal favorite introductory book is "Applied Combinatorics" by Tucker. I think he has the best explanations.
