Applications of LA in Combinatorics

Tutorials for Applications of Linear Algebra in Combinatorics [NDMI028] in winter semester 2022/2023. Tutorials take place on Friday 15:40 at K12, Karlín. I lead the tutorials together with prof. Kratochvíl.

Course completion requirements

It is required to attend all tutorials and submit solution to home assignments in order to pass the course tutorials. There are two types of homework:

  1. *-type: Every week, one assignment will be posted and you have two weeks to finish it. To pass the tutorials, you have to submit at least half of the assignments.
  2. a-type: If you do not attend tutorials, you have to submit homework assignments corresponding to the tutorials.
