Mathematical Sciences: Combinatorial Theory

该奖项支持R. Stanley教授和G.C. Rota教授在组合学方面的研究。斯坦利教授打算研究舒伯特多项式以及细分和局部h向量之间的联系。罗塔教授将研究本影微积分和不变量理论。这项研究是在组合学的一般领域。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，它对现代通信非常重要，例如电话系统中大型网络的设计以及计算机科学中算法的设计。

This award supports the research of Professor R. Stanley and Professor G.C. Rota to work in combinatorics. Professor Stanley intends to work on Schubert polynomials and the connection between subdivisions and local h-vectors. Professor Rota will work on the umbral calculus and invariant theory. 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.
