Where were we?
I was slow blogging, and catching up won’t be so easy. Of course, this brings me back to the question of what I should blog about. Ideally, I should tell you about mathematical things I heard about. The problem is … Continue reading
Important formulas in Combinatorics
Another spin-off of the Noga-poster-formula-competition is a MathOverflow question: Important formulas in combinatorics. The question collects important formulas representing major progress in combinatorics. So far there are 31 formulas and quite a few were new to me. There are several areas … Continue reading
Amazing: Peter Keevash Constructed General Steiner Systems and Designs
Here is one of the central and oldest problems in combinatorics: Problem: Can you find a collection S of q-subsets from an n-element set X set so that every r-subset of X is included in precisely λ sets in the collection? … Continue reading
