{wiki=Stirling_numbers_and_exponential_generating_functions_in_symbolic_combinatorics}

In symbolic combinatorics, the Stirling numbers and exponential generating functions are important concepts that help in counting combinatorial structures and understanding their relationships. \#\#\# Stirling Numbers Stirling numbers come in two flavors: **Stirling numbers of the first kind** and **Stirling numbers of the second kind**.
