The New Mathematical Coloring Book (eBook, PDF)

Mathematics of Coloring and the Colorful Life of Its Creators

Beschreibung

This book is dedicated to problems involving colored objects, and to results about the existence of certain exciting and unexpected properties that occur regardless of how these objects are colored. In mathematics, these results comprise the beautiful area known as Ramsey Theory. Ramsey Theory includes parts of many fields of mathematics, including combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. This book addresses famous and exciting problems of Ramsey Theory, along with the history surrounding the discovery of Ramsey Theory. In addition, the author studies the life of Issai Schur, Pierre Joseph Henry Baudet and B.L. van der Waerden. Due to the author's correspondence with van der Waerden, Erdös, and Schur, this book contains material that has never before been published. Historians of mathematics will herein find much new information, along with old errors corrected and published here for the first time in book form.

Rezensionen

This very nicely presented book studies problems involving colored objects and the Ramsey theory. ... New open problems and conjectures are included and this will lead to further work on the theme of this book. This book is strongly recommended to all those who wish to learn more about mathematics, mathematicians, the process of investigation and the psychology of mathematical invention. (S. Arumugam, zbMATH 1551.05001, 2025)

Usually I save my opinion of the book for the end. For this book, I can t wait: This is a Fantastic Book! Go buy it Now! ... This book has plenty of both. If you are interested in math, then this book will . If you are interested in history of math, then this book will . Any researcher in either mathematics or the history of mathematics will find many interesting things they did not know. (William Gasarch, SIGACT News, Vol. 55 (4), 2024)
