N2 - Analytic methods give powerful tools for obtaining asymptotic estimates in combinatorial enumeration. When they can be used, they usually provide extremely precise results. However, there are also many situations where they do not apply, and one has to use elementary or probabilistic reasoning. Problems in various classes are presented, and general principles of what kinds of methods are best for various situations are discussed.
