Congratulations to Combinatorics and Optimization Professors Jim Geelen, Penny Haxell, Alfred Menezes and Levent Tunçel, recipients of the University of Waterloo's Outstanding Performance Fund Award established in 2003 to reward faculty members for outstanding contribution in teaching and scholarship.

Algebraic combinatorics - algebra or combinatorics?

Abstract

This talk will feature a number of examples that illustrate what algebraic combinatorics means to the speaker. Throughout, the interplay between algebraic and combinatorial methods is emphasized.

'Math nerd' now at the faculty's helm

Ian Goulden
Ian Goulden, the dean of mathematics, was inducted last week as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada — a reminder that he’s a scholar and researcher as well as, since he took the dean’s job last July 1, one of the University of Waterloo’s senior administrators.
