Graph Theory As I Have Known It

Zusatztext For over sixty years! Bill Tutte has worked in Graph Theory and he can truly be called the father of the subject...This fascinating book...reveals how he was led to many of the theorems and proofs for which he is famous. Informationen zum Autor William Tutte (1917-2002) studied at Cambridge where his fascination for mathematical puzzles brought him into contact with like-minded undergraduates, together becoming known as the 'Trinity four', the founders of modern graph theory. His notable problem-solving skills meant he was brought to Bletchley Park during World War Two. Key in the enemy codebreaking efforts, he cracked the Lorenz cipher for which the Colossus machine was built, making his contribution comparable to Alan Turing's codebreaking for Enigma. Following his incredible war effort Tutte returned to academia and became a fellow of the Royal Society in Britain and Canada, finishing his career as Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Waterloo, Ontario. Klappentext A unique introduction to graph theory, written by one of the founding fathers. Professor William Tutte, codebreaker and mathematician, details his experiences in the area and provides a fascinating insight into the processes leading to his proofs.
