Programmers are used to counting boring things. Why not count something more interesting for a change?

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.

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

Recently there have been some papers posted about tropical geometry of neural nets. Tropical is also said to be derived from CS. This is a good introduction.
