In this talk we're going to discuss Hamilton's maximum principle for the Ricci flow. As an application, I would like to explain a technique due to Boehm and Wilking which provides a general tool to obtain new Ricci flow invariant curvature conditions from given ones. As we'll see, it plays a key role in Brendle and Schoen's proof of the differentiable sphere theorem.
