II. General Syllabus
Instructor(s) EU, Sen-Peng/ 游森棚
Schedule

(1) We will introduce missalaneous topics in enumerative and algebraic combinatorics. Include

1. basic counting (12 ways of counting and its combinatorial models)

2. important sequences and their combinatorial/algebraic aspects

3. various structures (e.g. parking functions, plane partitions, graphs, etc)

(2) Each week we will introduce a topic, with 2-3 do-able exercises and some potential small projects (if there is).

The goal of this course is to have a rough picture of enumerative combinatorics, appreciate these topics, and come up with an independent projects of your own.
