Title: Perfect Proofs

Abstract: We will explore several remarkable ideas, clever and deep insights, and astonishing observations that go into the proofs of some classical mathematical theorems. The topics are selected from the book "Proofs from The Book" by M. Aigner and G. M. Ziegler which was written with the input and guidance of Paul Erdös. No particular background is necessary.
