商品描述

This book is dedicated to problems involving colored objects, and to results about the existence of certain exciting and unexpected properties that occur regardless of how these objects are colored. In mathematics, these results comprise the beautiful area known as Ramsey Theory. Ramsey Theory includes parts of many fields of mathematics, including combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. This book addresses famous and exciting problems of Ramsey Theory, along with the history surrounding the discovery of Ramsey Theory. In addition, the author studies the life of Issai Schur, Pierre Joseph Henry Baudet and B.L. van der Waerden. Due to the author's correspondence with van der Waerden, Erdös, and Schur, this book contains material that has never before been published. Historians of mathematics will herein find much new information, along with old errors corrected and published here for the first time in book form.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書專注於涉及彩色物體的問題，以及關於這些物體如何著色都會出現的某些令人興奮和意想不到的性質的存在性結果。在數學中，這些結果構成了美麗的領域，被稱為拉姆齊理論。拉姆齊理論涵蓋了許多數學領域的一部分，包括組合學、幾何學和數論。本書探討了拉姆齊理論中著名且令人興奮的問題，以及與拉姆齊理論發現相關的歷史。此外，作者還研究了伊薩伊·舒爾、皮埃爾·約瑟夫·亨利·鮑德特和B.L.范德瓦爾登的生活。由於作者與范德瓦爾登、埃爾德什和舒爾的通信，本書包含了以前從未發表過的材料。數學史學家將在本書中找到許多新信息，以及修正的舊錯誤，首次以書籍形式發表。
