Abstract: The Davenport Constant of a finite abelian group G is defined to be the minimal number d such that every sequence of d elements of G contains a nonempty zero-sum subsequence. In this talk I will discuss what is known about the Davenport Constant as well as some open problems. Although the notions of modular arithmetic and some basic group theory will be introduced, an understanding of how to read a clock (analog not digital) is all that is required for this talk.
