Abstract
The mathematics department has five students applying for internships and luckily there are five internships available. Each student applies to the companies they are willing to work for, and each company then interviews each applicant. After the completion of the interviews the math department compiles a list of students preferred companies and companies ideal intern. The department's goal is to now match exactly one student to exactly one company, making the interns and internships as happy as possible. In this talk we will help the math department find the best partnerships using applications of graph theory.
