Abstract

Ramsey's Theorem for graphs states that any colouring on a sufficiently large complete graph must necessarily contain a monochromatic complete subgraph of a given size. This talk will contain a proof of Ramsey's Theorem, some restrictions on the size of the Ramsey numbers, including Erdos's lower bound obtained through probabilistic methods, and possibly some applications.
