"This elegant little book discusses a famous problem that helped to define the field now known as graph theory: what is the minimum number of colors required to print a map such that no two adjoining countries have the same color, no matter how convoluted their boundaries are. Many famous mathematicians have worked on the problem, but the proof eluded formulation until the 1970s, when it was finally cracked with a brute-force approach using a computer." "The Four-Color Theorem begins by discussing the history of the problem up to the new approach given in the 1990s (by Neil Robertson, Daniel Sanders, Paul Seymour, and Robin Thomas).… Read More

Hardback. New. Talks about the problem concerning the minimum number of colors required to print a map such that no two adjoining countries have the same color; this is one of the problems that came to define the field known as topology. This book begins by discussing the history of the problem, and then goes into the mathematics.
