Abstract
Applying ideas from topological dynamics in compact metric spaces to the Stone-Cěch compactification of a discrete semigroup, several new proofs of old results and some new results in Ramsey Theory are obtained. In particular, two ultrafilter proofs of van der Waerden’s Theorem are given. An ultrafilter approach to "central" sets (sets which are combinatorially rich) is developed. This enables us to show that for any partition of the positive integers one cell is both additively and multiplicatively central. Also, a fortuitous answer to a question of Ellis is obtained.
