Welcome to Week 6 of "Analytic Combinatorics."

This week, we complete our study of the asymptotics of complex GFs by considering the case of entire functions, which have no singularities.

----------
Lecture 8: Saddle Point Asymptotics. We consider the saddle point
method, a general technique for contour integration that also provides
an effective path to the development of coefficient asymptotics for
GFs with no singularities. As usual, we consider the application of
this method to several of the classic problems introduced in Lectures
1 and 2.

The lecture ends with a wrapup giving an overview of analytic
combinatorics and the themes, methods and applications covered in this
course.
