 e beginnings of modern measure theory\, the concept of amenability has bec
 ome of great importance to infinite group theory and topological dynamics.
  The study of amenable groups began in 1929 with John von Neumann\, who in
 troduced them in order to explain why the Banach-Tarski paradox occurs onl
 y for dimension greater than two. Since then amenable groups have proved i
 nteresting to several areas of mathematics\, including operator theory and
  ergodic theory. Recent developments have revealed a very fruitful connect
 ion between structural Ramsey theory and topological dynamics\, which tran
 slates combinatorial properties of structures into properties of topologic
 al automorphism groups. Amenability and extreme amenability play the centr
 al role in this correspondence.    In the talk I will give an introduction
  to amenability for discrete and topological groups\, discuss some example
 s and related problems\, and sketch the connection with Ramsey theory ment
 ioned above.
