Advanced class:
Combinatorics – Enumerative Combinatorics is the study of enumerating certain combinatorial objects. For instance, we might ask, in how many ways can we tile a 1 x n rectangle with squares and dominos? In how many ways can we partition the set {1,2,3, …, n} into sets of size 2 or 3?
Advanced Combinatorics: (Tentative syllabus)
- Induction Proofs
- Fibonacci interpretation
- More combinatorial identities, Probability
- Stirling Numbers of the First, Second Kind
- Ramsey Theory, (and possibly More Graph Theory)
- Permutations, Groups
- Pattern Avoidance (and possibly graph avoidance)
- Combinatorial Configurations
- Pigeonhole Principle, Invariants
- Partitions, Compositions, Ferrers Diagrams, Young Tableaux
Number Theory: Number Theory is the study of the integers. Questions we might ask are: Are there infinitely many primes? Are there infinitely many primes of the form 4n+1?
