"  Borsuk-Ulam Theorem, Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, and combinatorics "
  Prof. Jacob White  

Abstract

First, we indicate how the Borsuk-Ulam theorem can be applied to solve combinatorial problems. Then we indicate how one can use combinatorics to prove Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, and if time permits, indicate how one might prove the Borsuk-Ulam theorem.
