This Course is Self-Contained, and no prerequisite is needed,
in particular, Math 582 (Combinatorics I) is NOT a
prerequisite!
This semester we will focus on the exciting subject of
Algebraic Combinatorics (tableaux, permutations, Schur and
Jack polynomials).
We will emphasize the algorithmic
and constructive aspects. We will also approach the subject
from the viewpoint of my other great love: Experimental Mathematics,
and will use Maple to explore it.
No knowledge of Maple is assumed, and at the end of the semester
you will not only be proficient in algebraic combinatorics,
but you will also be a Maple whiz, over and above using it
as a fancy symbolic calculator.
The package SF
While learning Maple and Symmetric Functions, we will, together,
construct some Maple packages.
So far we have SF and RSK. At the end of the semester, instead
of an exam, students will add to it by implementing an advanced topic.
Here are the
Current Version of SF, and the
Current Version of RSK.
Added May 1, 2003: Download the following Maple packages
written by the students as final projects
-
David Biddulph's RRS program is part of the above-mentioned
RSK, (type "Help(RRS);").
-
JDT, written by Rohan Fernandes.
-
FranzblauZeilberger, written by
Roman Holowinsky, implementing the celebrated bijective proof
of Debbie Franzblau and Doron Zeilberger.
-
LLL, written by
Mohamud Mohammed, implementing the even more famous
Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz algorithm.
-
NPS, written by
Vince Vatter, implementing the Novelli-Pak-Stoyanovski
algorithm for the proof of the hook-lengths formula.

Added Jan. 23, 2012: Congratulations to
Roman Holowinsky, who was a student in this class, for
winning the 2011 prestigious
Ramanujan SASTRA prize! .
