Talk Title: Colorful Graphs and Fermat's Last Theorem
Talk By: Professor Zach Norwood
Talk Abstract: Before his tragic death at the age of 26 Frank Ramsey proved a beautiful and influential theorem about edge colored graphs, popularly understood to guarantee that any apparently disordered system must contain a large ordered subsystem We will state and prove Ramsey’s Theorem, explore the relationship between its finite and infinite versions, and conclude with a surprising connection to Fermat’s Last Theorem from number theory.
