Basics of Ramsey Theory de Veselin Jungić

Basics of Ramsey Theory

Autor Veselin Jungić
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 iun 2023
Basics of Ramsey Theory serves as a gentle introduction to Ramsey theory for students interested in becoming familiar with a dynamic segment of contemporary mathematics that combines ideas from number theory and combinatorics. The core of the of the book consists of discussions and proofs of the results now universally known as Ramsey’s theorem, van der Waerden’s theorem, Schur’s theorem, Rado’s theorem, the Hales–Jewett theorem, and the Happy End Problem of Erdős and Szekeres. The aim is to present these in a manner that will be challenging but enjoyable, and broadly accessible to anyone with a genuine interest in mathematics.
Features
  • Suitable for any undergraduate student who has successfully completed the standard calculus sequence of courses and a standard first (or second) year linear algebra course
  • Filled with visual proofs of fundamental theorems
  • Contains numerous exercises (with their solutions) accessible to undergraduate students
  • Serves as both a textbook or as a supplementary text in an elective course in combinatorics and aimed at a diverse group of students interested in mathematics

Notă biografică

Dr. Veselin Jungić is a Teaching Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
Dr. Jungić is a 3M National Teaching Fellow and a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society. He is a recipient of several teaching awards. Veselin is one of only a few Canadian mathematicians who has been awarded both the Canadian Mathematical Society Pouliot Award (2020) and the Canadian Mathematical Society Teaching Award (2012).
Dr. Jungić’s publications range from education related opinion pieces to articles based on his teaching practices to Ramsey theory research and outreach papers.
One of Dr. Jungić’s accomplishments is the creation of the Math Catcher Outreach Program. Since the early 2010s, the Program has visited hundreds of classrooms, from kindergarten to grade 12, and created learning resources in multiple Indigenous languages. As an invited speaker, Veselin delivered several dozens of the Math Catcher–related workshops and lectures to teachers, academics, and public at the local, national, and international levels.
