Status Updates From Inquiry-Based Enumerative C...

I’m liking the problem-based approach. While working through the Starfolks example (counting paths through a lattice where you can only move up and right), I ended up rederiving Vandermonde’s identity by counting in different ways. On the other hand, I don’t think this would have been nearly so obvious to me if I hadn’t already done a lot of counting in the past. There aren’t a ton of worked examples.

Starts out as incredibly elementary. Almost too basic for the level of depth that I anticipate this reaching. However, given the inquiry-based approach, this may be necessary to ensure that all prerequisites are covered. I do like the inquiry-based method so far, but we’ll see how it holds up as the complexity ratchets up.
