• Algebraic combinatorics involves the use of techniques from algebra, topology and geometry in the solution of combinatorial problems, or the use of combinatorial methods to attack problems in these areas. Problems amenable to the methods of algebraic combinatorics arise in these or other areas of mathematics, or from diverse parts of applied mathematics. Because of this interplay with many fields of mathematics, algebraic combinatorics is an area in which a wide variety of ideas and methods come together.
