Algebraic combinatorics is a branch of mathematics that combines techniques from algebra, specifically linear algebra and abstract algebra, with combinatorial methods to solve problems related to discrete structures, counting, and arrangements. This area of study often involves the interplay between combinatorial objects (like graphs, permutations, and sets) and algebraic structures (like groups, rings, and fields).
