Tamás Hausel (born 1972) is a Hungarian mathematician working in the areas of

combinatorial Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting, both as a means and an end in obtaining results, and certain properties of finite structures. It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many ap ...
