50 Years of the Hales-Jewett Theorem
Dates: May 6-8, 2016
Location: Western Washington University
Thanks to everyone who attended the conference!anks
In 1963, Alfred Hales and Robert Jewett proved a theorem on colorings of the discrete cube. This theorem, the Hales-Jewett theorem, has since become a cornerstone of Ramsey theory and extremal combinatorics. During the last 50 years, many extensions of the original Hales-Jewett theorem have been proved by a series of outstanding mathematicians. The aim of this conference is to bring together three generations of mathematicians working on problems related to the famous theorem of Hales and Jewett.
The conference will feature Alfred W. Hales (UCLA) and Robert I. Jewett (WWU) as guests of honor.
The honorary scientific chair is Ronald L. Graham
