Abstract:
Sometimes when I go to a party, I see many people I know and many people that I don't. I wonder how many of them know already either know each other or don't. In this talk, I will discuss solutions of this problem using graph coloring called Ramsey's Theorem. I will also apply Ramsey's theorem to Schur numbers, which involves partitioning the first n natural numbers into sum free sets.
