[Date] March 4 [Speaker] Irit Huq-Kuruvilla [Abstract] In this talk I will state and prove the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz and illustrate the power of the theorem by using it to give short, beautiful solutions to many problems. The results we will prove include the Cauchy-Davenport theorem, a fundamental result in additive number theory, and a result about hyperplane arrangements that was the 6th problem at the 2007 International Mathematical Olympiad. This talk presumes little technical knowledge, and should be accessible to general audiences. [Title]
