ABACUS

The purpose of this seminar is for graduate students in Combinatorics at UCSD to:

Become more familiar with recent and important results in Combinatorics.
Gain practice at giving presentations.
Foster a community among the Combinatorics students at UCSD.

This seminar is currently organized by Nicholas Sieger and Emily Zhu. In previous quarters, we explored the Containers Method, Spectral Graph Theory, Linear Algebra Methods, and other related topics. Our future topics will be determined based on the interests of the attendees. Please email any of us to get on the mailing list for the most up to date information!

For Fall 2022, we had talks on various results using Absorbers.
