Discrete Mathematics Seminar

The aim of this seminar is to provide an opportunity to share recent results in

  • algebra

  • combinatorics

  • number theory

  • symbolic computation

and to give an introduction to the current research topics of related groups at RICAM.

This year the seminar will be a hybrid one meaning, depending on the current the situation and the speaker, the seminar either will be held offline at RICAM (room SP2 4-416-2) or online.

For more details, please contact me (laszlo.merai@oeaw.ac.at).
