Our major objective is to introduce and treat graph theory as the beautiful area of mathematics we have always found it to be. We have striven to produce a reader-friendly, carefully written book that emphasizes the mathematical theory of graphs, in all their forms. While a certain amount of mathematical maturity, including a solid understanding of proof, is required to appreciate the material, with a small number of exceptions this is the only pre-requisite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, owing to the exhilarating pace of progress in the field, there have been countless developments in fundamental graph theory ever since the previous edition, and many of these discoveries have been incorporated into the book. Of course, some of the proofs of these results are beyond the scope of the book, in which cases we have only included their statements. In other cases, however, these new results have led us to completely reorganize our presentation. Two examples are the chapters on coloring and extremal graph theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295852802421,"sku":"9781032606989","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032606989_e89ed4cc-e7b5-44bd-876b-c210d39353f8.jpg?v=1786017096"},{"product_id":"9781292040646","title":"Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics","description":"Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics, Third Edition, prepares students for the more abstract mathematics courses that follow calculus. Appropriate for self-study or for use in the classroom, this text introduces students to proof techniques, analyzing proofs, and writing proofs of their own. Written in a clear, conversational style, this book provides a solid introduction to such topics as relations, functions, and cardinalities of sets, as well as the theoretical aspects of fields such as number theory, abstract algebra, and group theory. It is also a great reference text that students can look back to when writing or reading proofs in their more advanced courses.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297579315573,"sku":"9781292040646","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781292040646_78700ae1-30c7-48a0-a6d7-e0d15961f679.jpg?v=1786018217"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-gary-chartrand.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
