Richard P. Stanley

Professor of Mathematics

On January 15, 2018, I became officially retired from M.I.T. I am continuing as an Arts and Sciences Distinguished Scholar at the University of Miami during the spring semester (January-April). During the remainder of the year I am at M.I.T.

Bijective proof problems: a list of almost 250 problems on bijective proofs, with around 27 open problems (version of 18 August 2009). Solutions to many of these problems, compiled by S. Dimitrov, L. Grisales, R. Posada, and M. Schleppy, are available here.

Algebraic Combinatorics: information on an undergraduate textbook, including errata and online Chapter 13 entitled "A glimpse of combinatorial commutative algebra"

Conversational Problem Solving, a dialogue between a professor and eight undergraduate students at a summer problem-solving camp, loosely based on my own experience teaching the problem-solving seminars 18.S34 and 18.A34 at M.I.T. Errata.
