MATH UN3952: Undergraduate Seminars II

Dave Bayer

Many combinatorics textbooks are available freely online to Columbia University affiliates, through SpringerLink.

These books overlap in content, with varying styles and levels. As we study each topic, please work with the book(s) that you prefer:

The following are great topics books. If a particular combinatorics topic here interests you, please volunteer to present it:

For reference and the curious, here is the definitive graduate text on enumeration:

This is a fantastic resource. Has anyone else seen before the sequence of integers that you’re studying? This is “Google” for counting problems.

This drawing paper is for exploring the correspondence between triangulations, trees, and lattice paths that stay below the diagonal.

I taught seminars on this topic in recent years. In the past, I have also taught a course on Combinatorics.
