Abstract
Stein proposed the following conjecture: if the edge set of is partitioned into sets, each of size , then there is a partial rainbow matching of size . He proved that there is a partial rainbow matching of size , where is the number of derangements of . This means that there is a partial rainbow matching of size about . Using a topological version of Hall's theorem we improve this bound to .
