This group collects the Mathematics subcategory's members whose defining work concerns combinatorics: counting, arrangement and graph theory, the mathematics of discrete structures rather than continuous ones. It is the subcategory's smallest flat group at the live count, kept apart from Algebra And Number Theory and Analysis, whose members work on algebraic structures or continuous mathematics rather than discrete counting and arrangement problems.
