Abstract ::  The methods of Analytic Combinatorics [1], namely using Complex Analysis to count families of combinatorial objects, have been extensively used and refined in the last years. We will give an overview to those methods based on the works [2] and [3], and will describe some of the challenges of use them in some intricate settings related to Theoretical Computer Science.
