MATH X 451.46: Introduction to Combinatorial Analysis November 19, 2019 at 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm University of California, Los Angeles, Math Sciences Building, Room 5217, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA https://www.uclaextension.edu/sciences-math/math-statistics/course/introduction-combinatorial-analysis-math-x-45146 Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics that deals with problems of arrangements, partitions, and designs within a given finite or discrete system. It has applications in engineering, the physical and social sciences, operations research, and computer science. This course, the first of a two-quarter sequence, is an introductory yet rigorous survey of the theory…
