This award will provide funds to support a two-day conference at the University of Florida during March 24-25, 2014. The basic objective of the conference is to bring together professors, post-docs, and graduate and undergraduate students working on both algebraic and bijective combinatorics.Algebraic combinatorics, that is, the application of algebraic tools to solve combinatorial problems, has been a very popular area of research in the last 25 years. Its most frequently used tools include generating functions, symmetric polynomials, Standard Young Tableaux, and the incidence algebra of a partially ordered set. These high-powered algebraic tools often show that some classes of remote-looking objects in fact have the same size. That is when bijective combinatorics comes in the picture. If two classes of objects that seem to be unrelated contain the same number of elements, then it is quite possible that those classes are not unrelated after all, and there is a bijection between them. These bijections are sometimes quite challenging to find, but once they are found, they enhance our understanding of the classes at hand.

该奖项将为 2014 年 3 月 24 日至 25 日在佛罗里达大学举行的为期两天的会议提供资金。会议的基本目标是将代数研究领域的教授、博士后以及研究生和本科生聚集在一起。代数组合学，即应用代数工具解决组合问题，在过去 25 年中一直是一个非常热门的研究领域。其最常用的工具包括生成函数、对称多项式、Standard Young Tableaux 和部分有序集的关联代数。这些高性能代数工具通常表明某些类别的远程物体实际上具有相同的大小。这就是双射组合学出现的时候。如果两个看似不相关的对象类包含相同数量的元素，那么很可能这些类毕竟不是不相关的，并且它们之间存在双射。有时很难找到这些双射，但一旦找到它们，它们就会增强我们对当前类的理解。
