Like many of us, [Tim]’s seen online videos of circuit sculptures containing illuminated LED filaments. Unlike most of us, however, he went a step further by using graph theory to design glowing ...

Deep in the heart of Microsoft, Jennifer Chayes and Christian Borgs lead a who's who of mathematics and computer science. The goal? To explore anything they please Every weekday afternoon some 20 ...

I'm wrapping up a discrete math course for my university. The last chapter gave us an introduction to graph theory, and I want to learn more. The chapter in question introduced some basic concepts: ...

Kinematic chains, comprising interconnected rigid links and joints, form the backbone of mechanism design. Recent advances in synthesis methods have increasingly relied on graph theory to provide ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...

Maria Chudnovsky reflects on her journey in graph theory, her groundbreaking solution to the long-standing perfect graph problem, and the unexpected ways this abstract field intersects with everyday ...
