Dots and Lines

Dots and Lines
Preview available
This book is about pure mathematics in general, and the theory of graphs in particular. ("Graphs" are networks of dots and lines; they have nothing to do with "graphs of equations.") The two topics are interwoven, the idea being that the graph theory will illustrate the nature and spirit of pure mathematics. At the same time, the running commentary about pure mathematics will clarify that we do in graph theory.
