(1) The Combinatorial Nullstellensatz

The combinatorial Nullstellensatz, which is due to Noga Alon, is a powerful tool for solving problems in combinatorics and discrete geometry. I plan to explain the method by giving several examples where it has turned out to be useful. Extensions of the theorem and their applications will also be discussed.
