| | The ``probabilistic method'' is the art of applying probabilistic thinking to non-probabilistic problems. Applications of the probabilistic method often feel like magic. Here is my favorite example: Theorem (Erdös, 1965). Call a set $latex {X}&fg=000000$ sum-free if for all $latex {a, b \in X}&fg=000000$, we have $latex {a + b \not\in X}&fg=000000$. For any finite...

| | The Ramsey number $latex R(s, t)$ is the smallest $latex n$ such that every graph on $latex \geq n$ vertices either contains a clique of size $latex s$ or an independent set of size $latex t$. Ramsey's theorem implies that these numbers always exist, and determining them (precisely or asymptotically) has been a major challenge...

| It's been a while since I have written a post in the "somewhat philosophical" category, which is where I put questions like "How can one statement be stronger than an another, equivalent, statement?"
