Homework Statement
Finda generating function for the number of ways to distribute r identical objects into 3 indistinguishable boxes.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
It is the problem of "indistinguishable boxes" that has me flummoxed. I know that if the boxes were distinct, then my generating function would be:
(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 +...)^3
But I am not sure what to do with the matter of "indistinguishable boxes".
