| May 19, 2011 at 14:18 | comment | added | Camilo Sarmiento | The last sentence is just an example of what might constitute the solutions I meant. I wrote "very general" because any answer like "Problem ..... in combinatorics was unsolved, but then light was shed by considering the face ring of.... ", and the like, will do. | |
| May 19, 2011 at 13:59 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | I can't tell if you want to ask a very general question or a somewhat more specific one (judging from your last sentence). Could you be slightly more specific about what kind of examples you're looking for and what you're hoping to get out of having a list of such examples? | |

| May 19, 2011 at 11:22 | comment | added | darij grinberg | Do you include linear algebra? LOTS of graph theory have been done with its use. For example, Tutte's original proof of his matching theorem uses determinants of matrices over polynomial rings (not just $\mathbb Q$ or $\mathbb F_2$). | |
