About Discrete
Math Days in the Northeast:
Discrete Math Days in the Northeast is a
conference series that seeks to bring together a community of combinatorists in the northeast. We seek to provide a
relaxed atmosphere, a friendly environment conducive to fostering collaboration
accross institutions and disciplines.
We hold two meetings per year, one in the Fall and one in the spring. The meetings take place at
different universities in the northeast. Most participants drive to and from
the conference on the same day. We hope that by holding meetings at different
universities it will make it possible for researchers with higher teaching
loads and those with limited institutional support to attend, and helped them
to keep up with research in their field.
More information about the conference series
can be found here.
Local organizers:

We thank the Mathematics
Department at Dartmouth and the NSA for
their financial support.
