A stimulating excursion into pure mathematics aimed at "the
mathematically traumatized," but great fun for mathematical hobbyists
and serious mathematicians as well. Requiring only high school algebra
as mathematical background, the book leads the reader from simple graphs
through planar graphs, Euler's formula, Platonic graphs, coloring, the
genus of a graph, Euler walks, Hamilton walks, and a discussion of The
Seven Bridges of Konigsberg. Exercises are included at the end of each
chapter. "The topics are so well motivated, the exposition so lucid and
delightful, that the book's appeal should be virtually universal . . .
Every library should have several copies" — Choice. 1976 edition.Download
