“That’s probably the simplest pattern you can imagine.” Yet for almost a century, mathematicians in the field of combinatorics have been puzzling out how to know whether an endless list of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The AI system, called FunSearch, made progress on Set-inspired problems in combinatorics, a field of mathematics that studies how to count the possible arrangements of sets containing finitely ...

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 ...

Those interested are welcome to attend for all or any part of the event. The two hosting institutions are less than half an hour apart by tube; it is hoped that many people will be able to attend for ...

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 ...

The beginnings of combinatorics in India date back to Bharata's Natyasastra and the last chapter of the work Chandahsastra (Sanskrit Prosody) by Pingala (c. 300 BCE). Pingala deals in a few ...

The competition, which spans two days, challenges participants with advanced problems in algebra, combinatorics, geometry, number theory, and elementary mathematics. EGMO aims to encourage young ...
