Selected Topics in Mathematics; The Mathematics of Erdos

Reviews for this courseTestudo

Combinatorics is the study of counting. Despite its deceptively simple name, it is one of the most active areas of research in modern mathematics. We discuss some of the basic ideas behind combinatorics, and their unexpected applications. The proofs we discuss are so elegant that Paul Erdos once said they are from The Book God s book of the most elegant proof of each theorem. This is a Student Taught Initiated Courseand will be led by students, not faculty.
