Research

The Discrete Mathematics group at the University of Delaware is engaged in a wide variety of ongoing research projects, conducted both jointly and individually. All members of the group are interested in working with and advising graduate students. More detailed descriptions of our activities are provided on individual faculty members' home pages. For those students interested in employment with a government agency, the National Security Agency is about one hour's drive away from campus and is one of the world's largest employers of discrete mathematicians.

Seminar

The Discrete Mathematics seminar features weekly talks by both local and outside faculty as well as graduate students. For more information, look at our schedule or contact our seminar coordinator.

Graduate Program

The Graduate Program in Mathematics includes a number of courses that are relevant to discrete mathematics:

  MATH-650 Abstract Algebra (offered every spring)
  MATH-688 Combinatorics and Graph Theory I (offered every fall)
  MATH-689 Combinatorics and Graph Theory II (offered every spring)
  MATH-826 Topics in Pure Mathematics (offered every semester; not necessarily discrete mathematics)
  MATH-845 Groups and Their Applications (offered in alternate falls)
  MATH-850 Theory of Probability (offered in alternate springs)
  MATH-884 Finite Geometries and Designs (offered in alternate falls)
  MATH-885 Extremal Combinatorics (alternates with Finite Geometry in the fall)
