"Ramsey theory" refers to a wide body of results and ideas, often summarized as "complete disorder is impossible". Indeed, Ramsey-theoretic results imply that, in many different settings, any sufficiently large system contains a large structured subsystem. In this class we'll introduce students to the subject, covering classical results, recent breakthroughs, and general techniques.
