  This paper presents an offering of some of the myriad connections between
Combinatorics and Probability, directed in particular toward combinatorialists.
The choice of material was dictated by the author's own interests, tastes and
familiarity, as well as by a desire to present results with either complete
proofs or well developed sketches of proofs, and to ensure that the arguments
are rather accessible to combinatorialists. The first several sections collect
some concepts and rudimentary results from probability theory that are needed
to understand the rest of the paper.
