Course Overview
The Algebraic Combinatorics certification by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai is designed to introduce students to some influential paradigms in modern combinatorics. They are combinatorial classes and combinatorial species, Möbius inversion on partially ordered sets, and the Lindström-Gessel-Viennot lemma. The Algebraic Combinatorics training course is a 12-week online course delivered via Swayam. The Algebraic Combinatorics certification syllabus also provides learners with the theory of symmetric functions.
Students from science and engineering backgrounds having studied mathematics and computer science are best suited for the Algebraic Combinatorics certification course. The course will be taught by two instructors covering powerful paradigms in modern combinatorics. There are three credit points in the Algebraic Combinatorics online course that will be awarded to students after completion of the course. Students will also receive a certificate upon successful completion of the final exam.

The Syllabus
Evaluation process
The Algebraic Combinatorics training programme has an examination through which students will be eligible to earn a certificate. The exam will be held offline and students need to visit the designated exam centres. To pass the exam and earn a certificate, students need to secure at least 10 marks out of 25% in the best eight assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course. Further, they have to obtain a minimum of 30% out of 75% in the proctored certification exam conducted for 100 marks. In a nutshell, a student has to score>= 40/100 to earn the certificate.
