==History==

The term "algebraic combinatorics" was introduced in the late 1970s.<ref>[http://math.sjtu.edu.cn/conference/Bannai/2012/data/bannai.pdf Algebraic Combinatorics by Eiichi Bannai]</ref> Through the early or mid-1990s, typical combinatorial objects of interest in algebraic combinatorics either admitted a lot of [[symmetry (mathematics)|symmetries]] ([[association scheme]]s, [[strongly regular graph]]s, posets with a [[Group action (mathematics)|group action]]) or possessed a rich algebraic structure, frequently of representation theoretic origin ([[symmetric function]]s, [[Young tableaux]]). This period is reflected in the area 05E, ''Algebraic combinatorics'', of the [[American Mathematical Society|AMS]] [[Mathematics Subject Classification]], introduced in 1991.
