Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

Now that pandemic restrictions are easing up, people are getting together again. But it’s been a while, so if you and your friends need some help breaking the ice, here’s a mathematical party game you ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University's international reputation on the topic of graph theory is on display in a new book published recently by Princeton University Press. Graph theory, a ...

Over the past decade, we’ve seen a wave of diversification followed by consolidation in database technologies. Rela­tional databases such as Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server com­pletely dominated ...

When you get stuck on a fiendishly difficult sudoku, it’s hard not to wonder if the puzzle really has a solution. At another moment, aglow in the triumph of a clever deduction, you might have a ...

Chemical graph theory provides a rigorous framework for representing molecular structures as graphs, where vertices denote atoms and edges represent bonds. This mathematical abstraction facilitates ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...
