In [[combinatorics]], especially in analytic combinatorics, the '''symbolic method''' is a technique for [[enumerative combinatorics|counting combinatorial objects]]. It uses the internal structure of the objects to derive formulas for their [[generating function]]s. The method is mostly associated with [[Philippe Flajolet]],
and is detailed in Part A of his book with [[Robert Sedgewick (computer scientist)|Robert Sedgewick]], ''Analytic Combinatorics''.
Similar languages for specifying combinatorial classes and their generating functions are found in work by
