Carla D. Savage


Professor, Ph. D., Mathematics, University of Illinois;
Research interests: Enumeration and structure in combinatorial families. My special interest is in recursive techniques that unveil the stucture of a class and exploit it to count, generate, represent, and relate combinatorial families. Recent efforts focus on the family of integer partitions and tools for linear Diophantine enumeration.
