Discrete mathematics

Our discrete mathematics group researches graph theory, algorithms, combinatorial designs, error-correcting codes, and extremal set theory.

We are lucky to enjoy a very visual subject, where geometric structures and coloured labellings often appear. In addition, discrete math has applications to theoretical computer science, electrical engineering, statistics, and biology, not to mention relationships with the rest of mathematics.

The six regular research faculty members in our group are joined by a strong group of graduate students, visitors, postdoctoral fellows, adjunct professors, and . We hold a weekly seminar and have hosted a range of events, from small workshops to large international conferences.

All in all, UVic is among the top schools in the world for studying discrete mathematics.
