چکیده

Steve Simpson was born and grew up in Australia. After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Queensland, he travelled to London where he undertook his PhD on locust feeding physiology. Steve then spent 22 years in Oxford, fi rst in Experimental Psychology and then in the Department of Zoology and the Natural History Museum, before being enticed back to Australia in 2005. Together with colleague David Raubenheimer (now at Massey University), Steve developed state–space models for nutrition, which were devised and tested using insects but have since been applied to a wide range of animals and problems, from aquaculture and conservation biology to the dietary causes of human obesity. In the late 1980s a major plague of the desert locust in Africa provided the incentive to begin an investigation into the biology of locust swarming, which has led to an understanding of locust swarming that links chemical events in the brains of individual insects to landscape-scale mass migration.

Notes on the Dual Ramsey Theorem

The goal of these notes is to give a proof of the Dual Ramsey Theorem. This theorem was first proved in “A Dual Form of Ramsey’s Theorem” by Tim Carlson and Steve Simpson, Advances in Mathematics, 1984. The proof presented here is the same proof given in the paper and follows much of the same notation and terminology. The main change is that we will explicitly use the notion of “infinite variab...
