Ramsey theory

Ramsey Theory is a branch of mathematics that looks at ways to organize things. It tries to answer questions like: when arranging a group of people, or objects, how can we arrange them in a way that they are 'nice' (in a mathematical sense). It looks at how the arrangement of different parts influences the whole system. For example, Ramsey Theory might be used by an event planner to arrange a seating plan for guests.
