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 ...

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.

A team of four prominent mathematicians, including two Fields medalists, proved a conjecture described as a “holy grail of additive combinatorics.” Within a month, a loose collaboration verified it ...

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 ...

The mathematician Ben Green of the University of Oxford has made a major stride toward understanding a nearly 100-year-old combinatorics problem, showing that a well-known recent conjecture is “not ...

AI Beats Humans on Unsolved Math Problem Large language model does better than human mathematicians trying to solve combinatorics problems inspired by the card game Set ...

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 ...

Princeton University mathematician June Huh was awarded today the 2022 Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, in recognition of his work in combinatorics. The International ...
