Programmers are used to counting boring things. Why not count something more interesting for a change? This paper covers a broad swatch of the topic of analysis of tiling, and related strategies.

This paper takes programmers out of the domain of what they are familair with counting, and into new terrain. The paper covers a broad swath of the topic of analysis of tiling, and related strategies.

Programmers work with graphs often (file system, greplin, trees, "graph isomorphism problem" (who cares) ). But have you ever tried to construct a simpler building-block (basis) with which graphs could be built? Or at least a different building block to build the same old things.

This <10-page paper also uses `𝔰𝔩₂(ℂ)`, a simple mathematical object you haven’t heard of, but which is a nice lead-in to an area of real mathematics—rep theory—that (1) contains actual insights (1a) that you aren’t using (2) is simple (3) isn’t pretentious.

This is a higher-level paper, but still a survey (so more readable). It ties together disparate areas like Platonic solids (A-D-E), Milnor’s exceptional fibre, and algebra.

It has pictures and you’ll get a better sense of what mathematics is like from skimming it.

Young Tableau appear in many areas of mathematics. Beyond combinatoric problems, we also see them in representation theory, and the calculus of Grassmannians.
