Partition Combinatorics Reading Group

Problem Sets and Reading Materials

Each week, there will be a problem set for you to attempt ahead of the live session. For those participating in the official program: you will get feedback on your attempts, and then after the live session you will get some reading to do. There are 50 of you, so if you want feedback on your work before the live session, be sure to hand it in 48 hours in advance.

The problems and reading for the first week are now available - click on the top right corner of the display below to view the full file.

The "reading" consists of lecture 6, 7, and 11 from this playlist. The rest of the playlist might be interesting too, but is about other subjects in combinatorics.

The challenge problems from last week roll over!

Again, unsolved problems roll over, and the final week's work is an open-ended investigation. Don't worry - hints for all of the problems will be made available in about a week, and full solutions in about a month, so you can keep working on them.
