Holidays bring celebration, rest and, for many families, long stretches of indoor time. For some, this means tabletop games ...

This research topic explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of graph labeling and coloring problems, both of which are central to modern combinatorics and computer science.

Whether you’re a student, have a budding mathematician in your life or work in a job requiring complex graphing and computations, you likely know that a graphing calculator is a handy device. From ...

In 1950 Edward Nelson, then a student at the University of Chicago, asked the kind of deceptively simple question that can give mathematicians fits for decades. Imagine, he said, a graph — a ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space. The points could be an infinite collection of electrons ...

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 ...
