| May 20, 2010 at 2:31 | comment | added | Jacques Carette | @Harry: I used to think so too. But then I saw analytic combinatorics, 'done right', and I learned to really enjoy it, while I hated my 2nd year combinatorics class. | |
| Mar 15, 2010 at 11:06 | comment | added | darij grinberg | IMHO there is already too much unmotivated analysis in undergrad education. I rarely meet undergrads who think categories are the pinnacle of math, but I do meet more than enough undergrads who think that two-lines bounds involving epsilons, deltas, absolute values (as commonly seen in stochastics, diff. equations and asymptotics) are the pinnacle of maths. | |
| Dec 8, 2009 at 4:02 | comment | added | mrm | analytic combinatorics is very different... | |
| Dec 7, 2009 at 10:15 | comment | added | Harry Gindi | Combinatorics seems like one of those subjects that you really have to have a natural affinity for. | |
