Drawing from the lecture notes for a semester-long program for advanced undergraduate students, Katz and Reimann introduce Ramsey theory. The material should be accessible to anyone who has completed a first set of proof-based mathematics courses such as abstract algebra and analysis, they say, and requires no prior knowledge of mathematical logic. Throughout they provide references to fuller accounts of Ramsey theory. They cover graph Ramsey theory, infinite Ramsey theory, the growth of Ramsey functions, and metamathematics.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book takes the reader on a journey through Ramsey theory, from graph theory and combinatorics to set theory to logic and metamathematics. Written in an informal style with few requisites, it develops two basic principles of Ramsey theory: many combinatorial properties persist under partitions, but to witness this persistence, one has to start with very large objects. The interplay between those two principles not only produces beautiful theorems but also touches the very foundations of mathematics. In the course of this book, the reader will learn about both aspects. Among the topics explored are Ramsey's theorem for graphs and hypergraphs, van der Waerden's theorem on arithmetic progressions, infinite ordinals and cardinals, fast growing functions, logic and provability, Godel incompleteness, and the Paris-Harrington theorem.Quoting from the book, ``There seems to be a murky abyss lurking at the bottom of mathematics. While in many ways we cannot hope to reach solid ground, mathematicians have built impressive ladders that let us explore the depths of this abyss and marvel at the limits and at the power of mathematical reasoning at the same time. Ramsey theory is one of those ladders.'' This book is published in cooperation with Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9781470442903
