Friday, 27 January 2023

In this book Robin Wilson focuses on the development of graph theory in North America from 1876 to 1976, from the point at which James Joseph Sylvester took up his appointment as the first professor of mathematics at the Johns Hopkins University to the solution of the longstanding four color problem in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken of the University of Illinois.
