Mathematical Sciences: Recurences and Extremal Combinatorics

该奖项支持I.Gessel教授从事枚举组合学的研究。他打算研究超几何级数、多项式和乔亚尔的物种结构理论。这项研究属于组合学的一般领域。组合学试图找到有效的方法来研究如何组织离散的对象集合。因此，它对现代通信极其重要，例如电话系统中的大型网络设计和计算机科学中的算法设计。

This award supports the research of Professor I. Gessel to work in enumerative combinatorics. He intends to study hypergeometric series, polyominos and Joyal's theory of species of structures. The research is in the general area of combinatorics. Combinatorics attempts to find efficient methods to study how discrete collections of objects can be organized. And, so it is extremely important to modern communications, for example the design of large networks as in telephone systems and the design of algorithms in computer science.
