[EM] Advanced Math question

[Narins, Josh]

What branches of mathematics are generally used when approaching this topic?

It sure seems more like Algebra than Geometry, so that's easy.

Is it all stuff I learned in Linear Algebra, or does it go farther than
that?

Here's a tidbit, in Finance, the stochastic/filtration people rely somewhat
on "Sigma Algebra."

So, say, for Condorcet, is there a particular branch of Matrix or Linear
Algebra that anyone who hopes to speak authoritatively on this subject must
master?

Pardon that English.

What kind of math must you be great at to totally _see_ the issues involved
in condorcet matrix counting?
