Extractions: Learning to Count Combinatorics problems are notorious for their reliance on cleverness and insight. Once you look at the problem in the right way, the answer suddenly becomes obvious. Basic counting techniques include: Product Rule - The product rule states that if there are possibilities from set and possibilities from set , then there are ways to combine one from and one from Sum Rule - The sum rule states that if there are possibilities from set and possibilities from set , then there are ways for either or to occur - assuming the elements of and are distinct. Inclusion-Exclusion Formula - The sum rule is a special case of a more general formula when the two sets can overlap, namely, The reason this works is that summing the sets double counts certain possibilities, namely, those occurring in both sets. Double counting is a slippery aspect of combinatorics, which can make it difficult to solve problems via inclusion-exclusion. Combinatorial Objects A bijection is a one-to-one mapping between the elements of one set and the elements of another. Counting the size of one of the sets automatically gives you the size of the other set.

Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference The 2006 Graduate Student combinatorics Conference will move one state to the east, and be held at the University of Wisconsin Madison! http://www.math.umn.edu/~drake/gscc.html
Extractions: University of Minnesota The purpose of this conference is to bring together graduate students in combinatorics, let them practice giving talks, learn about new topics, and get to know other graduate students in their field. The schedule will consist of talks given by students, as well as keynote presentations (yes, plural!) given by Professors Richard Ehrenborg and Margaret Readdy of the University of Kentucky. Participants are invited to give 20 minute talks. The subject need not be original research, but simply something the speaker enjoys and wishes to share. Talks should, in particular, be accessible to an audience of graduate students of varying levels.

Extractions: Research Research Seminars Publications Staff ... Research Categories and Combinatorics Category theory is a recent branch of mathematics originating in algebraic topology, but rapidly establishing connections with algebra, logic, algebraic and differential geometry, and most recently computer science. Category theory is particularly suited to providing conceptual frameworks for mathematical areas. The most rapidly developing areas in recent years have been in computer science, quantum groups and homotopy theory. The Sydney Category Seminar is a world centre of research in Category Theory. The main interests of the Combinatorics group concern applications of category theory to computer science, one of the hottest research areas of theoretical computer science, and to algebraic combinatorics, the name given to the recent cross-fertilization between two great areas of mathematics: algebra and combinatorics.

Extractions: LearningFromTheWeb.net Combinatorics represents a field of study that tries to find one or more of the "best" solutions of a problem, where the dimensionality of the problem, and therefore the computational difficulty, grows faster than any polynomial in the number of variables (e.g. an NP-hard or NP-complete problem). One example of this type of problem is trying to find the most stable conformation of a molecule. If a standard grid-search method is used, where each torsion angle is varied in 10 degree increments, the number of points that have to be searched grows as 36 n , where n is the number of torsion angles to vary. For even small biomolecules, the number of points to examine becomes too large to be feasible. Another application is a Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) study. In this type of study, a large number of structure-based descriptors are available for a set of compounds whose biological activity is known. The object is to choose a small number of these descriptors that can be used to create a polynomial expression, or used to train a Neural Network, such that it accurately predicts the activity. This problem grows as the factorial of the total number of descriptors and again becomes intractable as this number becomes large. Genetic Methods represent a powerful class of computational methodologies that can find optimum solutions of these combinatorial problems. In this class of methodologies are some well-known algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms, Evolutionary Programming and Evolutionary Stragegies, but it must be stressed that an infinite number of algorithms are possible.
