This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book discusses a famous problem that helped to define the field now known as topology: What is the minimum number of colors required to print a map so that no two adjoining countries have the same color This problem remained unsolved until the 1950s, when it was finally cracked using a computer. This book discusses the history and mathematics of the problem, as well as the philosophical debate which ensued, regarding the validity of computer generated proofs. 280 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - During the university reform of the 1970s, the classical Faculty of Science of the venerable Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat in Munich was divided into five smaller faculties. One was for mathematics, the others for physics, chemistry and pharmaceutics, biology, and the earth sciences. Nevertheless, in order to maintain an exchange of ideas between the various disciplines and so as not to permit the complete undermining of the original notion of 'universitas,l the Carl-Friedrich-von-Siemens Foundation periodically invites the pro fessors from the former Faculty of Science to a luncheon gathering. These are working luncheons during which recent developments in the various disciplines are presented by means of short talks. The motivation for such talks does not come, in the majority of cases, from the respective subject itself, but from another discipline that is loosely affiliated with it. In this way, the controversy over the modern methods used in the proof of the Four-Color Theorem had also spread to disciplines outside of mathematics. I, as a trained algebraic topologist, was asked to comment on this. Naturally, I was acquainted with the Four-Color 1 A Latin word meaning the whole of something, a collective entirety. Vll viii Preface Problem but, up to that point, had never intensively studied it. As an outsider,2 I dove into the material, not so much to achieve any scientific progress with it but to make this already achieved objective more understandable.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This elegant little book discusses the famous problem concerning the minimum number of colors required to print a map such that no two adjoining countries have the same color, no matter how convoluted the boundaries; this is one of the problems that came to define the field now known as topology. The book begins by discussing the history of the problem, and then goes into the mathematics, pleasantly enough that anyone with an elementary knowledge of geometry can follow it, but with enough rigor that a mathematician can also read it with pleasure.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 280 pp. Englisch.…
