Abstract

Synopsis This interview, conducted in November 2020, explores the fascinating life and work of Ramsey theorist Thomas Craig Brown. We hope, through our conversation with Dr. Brown, to show that mathematics is not a discipline that is only concerned with numbers, but that it is, in a fundamental way, also about people and connections. In November 2020, we, the authors, had the chance to interview Ramsey the-orist Professor Thomas Craig Brown. In the following, we present this fascinating conversation. We discover that Dr. Brown’s dedication to mathematics and learning has always been at the heart of his work.
