DESCRIPTION:\nCome see esteemed mathematician Dr. Robin Wilson discuss the history of graph theory from the smoky 1870s to the groovy 1970s!\n\nRated G: No particular math knowledge needed.\n\nFull abstract:\nGraph theory is the mathematical study of connections\, as may be encountered\, for example\, in road\, airline\, or telecommunications networks. This talk covers the development of the subject in America’s second century from 1876\, when James Joseph Sylvester arrived in the US and introduced the word “graph” (in this sense) in connection with his work on mathematical trees and chemical molecules\, to 1976\, when the longstanding four color problem on the coloring of maps was finally solved. In particular\, this talk will introduce the personalities involved\, as described in the recently published book “Graph Theory in America” (Princeton University Press\, January 2023)\, two of whose authors are myself and CC’s Emeritus Professor John Watkins. No particular knowledge of graph theory is assumed. \n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/6632
