How the FUCK does one understand Combinatorics? Any tips/resources

You don't.

taking it next sem. what am i in for?

just gotta get a feel for it

Combinatorics requires very little spatial reasoning, try to solve the problems with logic and heuristics. Don't rely on visualizations, unless it's a graph problem.

Unfortunately, my ability in mathematics is very reliant on spacial reasoning.

I don't know, man. Combinatorics is bullshit.

>>8934079
Ez. Remember injection, surjection and bijection from set theory.

try to derive the basics for yourself
