MATH39001, Combinatorics and Graph Theory
Here is the syllabus.Notes
Generating functions (updated on 9 January)Graph theory (updated on 14 January)
Exams
Interactive Ford-Fulkerson algorithm
Go to All Programs --> MATH39001 --> Flowdemo on any of the computers in the ATB ground floor cluster. (The first time you may have to a wait a long time for Mathematica to download. You will probably need to scroll down each time to see the latest graph, this is the result of an undocumented change in Mathematica 8.)
Handouts
Squared squares and rectanglesHall's theorem (non-examinable)
A summary of formal power series and A list of useful power series
Examples of cards, decks, hands type problems
You can also download and experiment with the original
Mathematica notebook.
Save it, then open it with Mathematica, preferably with
version 7 or 8, as it may not be compatible with earlier versions.
Virtual handouts
Spanning trees (Do NOT print it, 670 pages!)Ford-Fulkerson algorithm demonstration
Coursework
The questions and the diagram for question 2 are available here. The feedback and full solutions can be found in blackboard.
