Goulden, Ian - Mathematics and Computer Sciences - University of Waterloo
Ian Goulden is a superb algebraic combinatorialist. He has had a profound effect on an area of mathematics that, increasingly, has been seen to deal with structures central to many other parts of Mathematics. Much of his research has now entered into standard use within the discipline itself as well as in applications to the Mathematical Sciences.

Goulden, Ian - Mathematics and Computer Sciences - University of Waterloo
Ian Goulden is a superb algebraic combinatorialist. He has had a profound effect on an area of mathematics that, increasingly, has been seen to deal with structures central to many other parts of Mathematics. Much of his research has now entered into standard use within the discipline itself as well as in applications to the Mathematical Sciences. His research has revealed the depth of the connection between combinatorial structure and areas such as algebraic geometry and quantum field theory. His book is now regarded as a classic in the field.
