The Annals of Combinatorics publishes contributions to combinatorial mathematics, with special attention to new developments in the field, as well as applications to computer science, biology, statistics, probability, physics, chemistry, and works of a combinatorial nature in representation theory, number theory, algebraic geometry, and the theory of special functions. Other resources include conference and seminar schedules, and information about people and groups in the field.
