Title: What is Discrete Mathematics (Combinatorics)?

 

Abstract: This talk aims to give an idea of what research in discrete mathematics (combinatorics) is all about. I will attempt to define the field and its many sub-fields, and we will discuss some example problems. I will also talk about our discrete group at Auburn – what the research interests of the faculty in our group are, and what graduate courses we offer.
