Riassunto:

Un'escursione stimolante nella matematica pura rivolta a "matematicamente traumatizzati", ma molto divertente anche per gli hobbisti matematici e per i matematici seri. Questo libro guida il lettore dai grafici semplici ai grafici planari, alla formula di Eulero, ai grafici platonici, alla colorazione, al genere di un grafico, ai cammini di Eulero, ai cammini di Hamilton e altro ancora. Include esercizi. Edizione del 1976.
