Coloring a graph and finding its chromatic number is a very interesting area of combinatorics, but is very difficult to do efficiently. In this talk, we will use algebra to examine how we can color graphs more efficiently, as well as the limitations on coloring. Based on a 2008 paper by De Loera et. al.
