Abstract or Additional Information

Graham's number is really really really really really really ... really big. In this ironically short talk, we'll discuss one of the largest numbers used in an actual graph theory proof and the notation one must use to be able to write it down (certainly one cannot write Graham's number down digit-by-digit). This is the talk of the century, don't miss it!
