The World of Graph Theory: Coloring, Scheduling, and Solving Mysteries by Prof. Ann Trenk, Wellesley College, Friday February 7, 1:00 – 1:50pm, North Science Building 015, Wachenheim, Faculty Seminar, Class of 1960 Scholars
Abstract:
Graph Theory is a field of mathematics that encompasses tools and techniques for modeling and solving real world problems. In this talk, we explore graph coloring and some of its applications, and show how graph theory can be useful in problem solving. In one of our problems, six professors are suspects in a library theft. We’ll use their testimony together with some graph theory to identify the guilty party. We will also discuss more recent related research. This talk is designed for a general math audience – everyone is welcome.
