This semester (Spring 2009) I am teaching 18.318 (Topics in Combinatorics). The topic will be symmetric functions. The semester after that (Fall 2009) I am teaching 18.315 (Combinatorial Theory). Tentative topic: generating functions. The semester after that (Spring 2010) I am tentatively teaching 18.312 (Algebraic Combinatorics).

Curriculum vitae (abbreviated)
Recent papers
List of publications (and a bibliography
prepared by Jim
Pitman). Most of these papers are now available as pdf files,
thanks to the efforts of Arthur
L. B. Yang
(杨立波) and his colleagues at
the Center for
Combinatorics, Nankai University, and of Shirley
Entzminger.
Transparencies from recent talks
Enumerative Combinatorics : Some
information on a two-volume book I have written. Includes
new material related to Catalan numbers and new exercises on
symmetric functions. Also includes information on a second
edition of volume 1, with a link to the new Chapter 1.
Hyperplane arrangements:
lecture notes for graduate students.
Bijective proof problems: a list of almost
250 problems on bijective proofs, with around 27 open
problems (version of 9 September 2008)
Topics in Algebraic Combinatorics:
lecture notes for an undergraduate course (145 page pdf file). Not
yet in final form.
