Fascinating World Of Graph Theory Egalley

The history, formulas, and most famous puzzles of graph theory Graph theory goes back several centuries and revolves around the study of graphs—mathematical structures showing relations between objects. With applications in biology, computer science, transportation science, and other areas, graph theory encompasses some of the most beautiful formulas in mathematics—and some of its most famous problems. The Fascinating World of Graph Theory explores the questions and puzzles that have been studied, and often solved, through graph theory. This book looks at graph theory's development and the vibrant individuals responsible for the field's growth. Introducing fundamental concepts, the authors explore a diverse plethora of classic problems such as the Lights Out Puzzle, and each chapter contains math exercises for readers to savor. An eye-opening journey into the world of graphs, The Fascinating World of Graph Theory offers exciting problem-solving possibilities for mathematics and beyond.

Now in a new, revised edition, this book provides readers with an introduction to graph theory. The authors enhance the basic material by including a wide variety of applications to both other branches of mathematics and to real-world problems. Each application has been carefully selected and is treated in some depth. Also emphasized throughout the book is the importance of efficient methods of solving problems.

Graph theory is an area in discrete mathematics which studies configurations (called graphs) involving a set of vertices interconnected by edges. This book is intended as a general introduction to graph theory. The book builds on the verity that graph theory even at high school level is a subject that lends itself well to the development of mathematical reasoning and proof. This is an updated edition of two books already published with World Scientific, i.e., Introduction to Graph Theory: H3 Mathematics & Introduction to Graph Theory: Solutions Manual. The new edition includes solutions and hints to selected problems. This combination allows the book to be used as a textbook for undergraduate students. Professors can select unanswered problems for tutorials while students have solutions for reference.

Graphs & Digraphs masterfully employs student-friendly exposition, clear proofs, abundant examples, and numerous exercises to provide an essential understanding of the concepts, theorems, history, and applications of graph theory. Fully updated and thoughtfully reorganized to make reading and locating material easier for instructors and students, the Sixth Edition of this bestselling, classroom-tested text: Adds more than 160 new exercises Presents many new concepts, theorems, and examples Includes recent major contributions to long-standing conjectures such as the Hamiltonian Factorization Conjecture, 1-Factorization Conjecture, and Alspach's Conjecture on graph decompositions Supplies a proof of the perfect graph theorem Features a revised chapter on the probabilistic method in graph theory with many results integrated throughout the text At the end of the book are indices and lists of mathematicians' names, terms, symbols, and useful references. There is also a section giving hints and solutions to all odd-numbered exercises. A complete solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption. Graphs & Digraphs, Sixth Edition remains the consummate text for an advanced undergraduate level or introductory graduate level course or two-semester sequence on graph theory, exploring the subject's fascinating history while covering a host of interesting problems and diverse applications.
