The Fascinating World of Graph Theory

Arthur Benjamin is a mathematics professor at Harvey Mudd College. Gary Chartrand is an emeritus mathematics professor at Western Michigan University. Ping Zhang is a mathematics professor at Western Michigan University.

Graph theory dates back several centuries and is based on the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures that show relationships between objects. Graph theory encompasses some of the most beautiful formulas in mathematics, as well as some of its most famous problems, and has applications in biology, computer science, transportation science, and other areas.Among the best books on graph theory, The Fascinating World of Graph Theory delves into the questions and puzzles that have been studied and, in many cases, solved using graph theory. This book examines the evolution of graph theory and the dynamic individuals who have contributed to the field's success. The authors introduce fundamental concepts while exploring a wide range of classic problems such as the Lights Out Puzzle, and each chapter includes math exercises for readers to enjoy. The Fascinating World of Graph Theory is an eye-opening journey into the world of graphs that offers exciting problem-solving possibilities for mathematics and beyond.
