Combinatorics is the art of counting. Its main goal is to, given a set, determine how many elements it contains. Relevant areas of research at Michigan Tech are enumerative and algebraic combinatorics ...

Eric Swartz: application of group theory to finite structures, such as graphs and finite geometries, and problems related to the combinatorics of finite groups. Stephen Trefethen: Character Theory and ...

2018 Colloquia in Combinatorics Two consecutive one-day events hosted by QMUL and LSE 2018 sees the twelfth year of the Colloquia in Combinatorics: each year, we present a dozen talks covering a wide ...

Given a group and a normal subgroup, we study the problem of choosing coset representatives with few “carries.” The problem is closely linked to the emerging field of additive combinatorics. We ...

Counting will get you nowhere. Try a little combinatorics instead. By Kenneth Chang A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a viral math problem — 8÷2(2+2) = ? — that drew the disdain of many ...

Several months later, the team coaxed the upper limit down a tiny bit more, getting a new bound of 1/e (log (N))^1/9. Combinatorics researchers are still trying to figure out how low they can go.

In discrete mathematics and combinatorics courses, students learn to master the use and combinations of integers, graphs, sets and logic statements. These are the best graduate schools for ...

Correction 19 December 2023 DeepMind AI outdoes human mathematicians on unsolved problem Large language model improves on efforts to solve combinatorics problems inspired by the card game Set.

2024 sees the seventeenth year of the Colloquia in Combinatorics: each year, we present a dozen talks covering a wide range of topics of interest to all those working in combinatorics or related ...
