• Topics of Lectures
  
    - Lecture (L) Sang Jun Lee (Duksung Women's University)             
              An Introduction to probabilistic methods 
   확률론적인 방법론(Probabilistic methods)은 현대 조합론 분야의 연구결과와 증명방법에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이 강연에서는 확률론적 방법론을 통해 얻을 수 있는 결과들에 대해 설명하고, 이를 조합론의 다양한 분야에 어떻게 적용할 수 있을 지에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 구체적인 방법론으로서는 Markov’s inequality, Deletion method, Chebyshev’s inequality, Chernoff bound, Lovasz local lemma 등을 소개하고, 이 방법론들의 적용방법을 구체적인 예를 통해 설명고자 한다. 또한 연습문제 풀이 시간에 스스로 방법론을 적용하는 연습을 하고자 한다.
  
  
   - Lecture (K) Soon-Yi Kang (Kangwon National University)
            Combinatorics in quantum modular forms 
A quantum modular form is a complex-valued function defined on some real numbers that satisfies a transformation property with respect to some modular group. We introduce this rather young subject of interest with various examples and its relation to mock modular forms, false theta functions, and basic hypergeometric series. The examples of quantum modular forms introduced here are generating functions of many intriguing combinatorial objects such as partitions, unimodal sequences, Fishburn numbers and etc.

All lectures will be delivered in Korean.
