  About DIMACS

DIMACS, the NSF Science and Technology Center for Discrete Mathematics, is a consortium of Rutgers and Princeton Universities, AT&T Labs - Research, Bell Labs, Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore) and NEC Research. DIMACS education programs include the Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics (currently focused on K-8 teachers), the Young Scholars Program in Discrete Mathematics (for high school students), Research Experience for Undergraduates (college students), and the Reconnect conferences (two-day and two-week programs for two and four-year college faculty).

Research activities at DIMACS include implementation challenges, tutorials, and programs called Special Years which focus on emerging topics in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Topics currently underway include:
