MATH 431: Combinatorics 1

2009 Trimester 1

MATH 431 CRN 7672, 15 Points (2009 1/3)
Coordinator: Dr Colin Bailey
Recommended: MATH 311
Description: Patterns often arise from a group acting on a set and the list of possibilities is easily recoverable from the cycle indicator polynomial of the group. The course will develop some of the theory behind such polynomials, some ways to compute them and give a number of applications to counting graphs of various types. Some knowledge of basic group theory is essential.
