Lecture description
===================
The Probabilistic Method is a powerful technique developed by the legendary Paul Erdős. To show the existence of a combinatorial object one defines a random object and shows that with positive probability it has the desired properties. Erdős deduces that the object must exist. In homage, we refer to this idea as Erdős Magic. Closely aligned is the study of random structures perse. Throughout we deal with large structures and asymptotic analysis permeates all of the lectures.

The specific lectures should be regarded as tentative. We will have two lectures each day but the material given may take more or less than one lecture period. Also, new material may be added and old material deleted. Expect the actual lectures to be these descriptions times 1 ± o(1).
