Planned timetable:
Combinatorics underlies and interacts many topics in discrete mathematics including group theory, statistical design, and statistical mechanics, as well as being a lively subject in its own right. The module will give students a good grounding in the techniques and will engage students with research-level problems. It is designed to make a wide area of combinatorics available to students.
Pre-requisite(s): Before taking this module you must pass MT4514 or pass MT4516
