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 ...

If you are interested in the real-world applications of numbers, discrete mathematics may be the concentration for you. Because discrete mathematics is the language of computing, it complements the ...

Discrete mathematics is the study of finite or countable discrete structures; it spans such topics as graph theory, coding theory, design theory, and enumeration. The faculty at Michigan Tech ...

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 ...

Edge-Colored Graph Theory is a vibrant area within combinatorics that extends the classical study of graphs by assigning colours to edges. This paradigm not only uncovers subtle structural properties ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Researchers at ...

Four Fields Medals were awarded for major breakthroughs in geometry, combinatorics, statistical physics and number theory, even as mathematicians continued to wrestle with how computers are changing ...

Fifty years ago, Paul Erdős and two other mathematicians came up with a graph theory problem that they thought they might solve on the spot. A team of mathematicians has finally settled it. In the ...
