Extractions: menu termes mal traduits terminologie syntaxe globale ... analyse de la ponctuation TERME four colour map theorem (Or "four colour theorem") The theorem stating that if the plane is divided into connected regions which are to be coloured so that no two adjacent regions have the same colour (as when colouring countries on a map of the world), it is never necessary to use more than four colours. The proof, due to Appel and Haken, attained notoriety by using a computer to check tens of thousands of cases and is thus not humanly checkable, even in principle. Some thought that this brought the philosophical status of the proof into doubt. There are now rumours of a simpler proof, not requiring the use of a computer. Il y a maintenant des rumeurs d'une preuve plus simple, n'exigeant pas l'utilisation d'un ordinateur. See also chromatic number Voir aussi "nombre chromatique"

Extractions: The 150th Birthday of the Four Colour Problem - Theorem The first written document treating the Four Colour Theorem is a letter from Augustus de Morgan to Sir William Rowan Hamilton, dated on October 23, 1852. More than 120 years of interesting mathematical research were needed for the first solution by Kenneth Appel, Wolfgang Haken and John Koch. The aim of the lecture is to present some special points of the history of the problem and to give an idea how the computer aided proof works. The strange point is that the truth of the theorem is still dependent on the reliability of the involved computer programs.

Extractions: If asked to decide whether a given statement is true or false and if your insight does not immediately provide the answer, try to prove the statement; then use your experience of the difficulties encountered to try to construct a counter example; then use your experience of those difficulties to try again to prove the statement, etc. To gain experience in constructing counter examples, you should practise by taking standard theorems, omitting part of the hypothesis, and trying to find counter examples to the conclusions. In real-life problems, you do not know the answer until you have solved the problem. Undergraduate mathematics is rather different, in that in many problems you are told the answer, and required only to find out why it is the answer. However, from time to time, you will be asked questions in which you are required to determine whether a given statement is true or false. In these cases, it is always implicit that you should justify your answer (there are no prizes for guessing correctly). This means that if the statement is true, then you have to prove it; if the statement is false, then you have to disprove it. We shall give you some ideas in the subsequent sections of this chapter how to go about proving things, but in this section we tell you how to disprove (false) statements.

When Euler realised that there is not a pair of MOLS of order 2 and he could not find a pair of order 6 to solve The 36 Officers Problem, he conjectured that there exists no pair of MOLS of order n when n = 2 (mod 4).

Extractions: Go to my home page We have all seen maps in which adjacent countries (or areas) are colored with different colors, so we can easily see the boundaries between them. Mathematicians asked, "Just how many colors are necessary?" They weren't trying to help out the map makers who occasionally bungle the job (I have seen several maps with mistakes in the coloring). The mathematicians found this an interesting, and diabolically difficult puzzle. Of course, the Four Color Theorem (previously called the Four Color Conjecture) was recently proven (by Wolfgang Haken and Kenneth Appel using a super computer at the University of Illinois, in 1976), showing that four colors is all you ever need, on a plane map. That proof is very long, and I will not show it. Instead, let's prove a "three color theorem:" Three color theorem - More than three colors are required for some map or maps. Proof: Look at the diagram, above left. Can't color it with just three colors, can you? That was a little informal. But, that is essentially the proof. We wanted to show that three colors were not enough for some map. All we have to do is show a map that requires four colors, and we have proved our conjecture. I could have given some reasoning why you can't color this map with three colors. But it should be fairly obvious.

Extractions: I first encountered The Mathematical Explorer under what were ideal circumstances for me - recuperating in bed after minor surgery. I loaded the program on to my laptop with a complete absence of guilt. I spent much of the next couple of days visiting many of the famous problems in the history of mathematics, learning about the people who solved them (and those who failed) and exploring the application of ideas such as Turtle fractalisation and public-key cryptography. Professor Stan Wagon, a Mathematica expert and celebrated educator and author, wrote The Mathematical Explorer. He has included topics varying in difficulty from the Riemann Hypothesis to games from recreational mathematics. The front-end is the familiar Mathematica Help browser. A scaled down Kernel is included so I didn't need any additional software to execute the numerous examples or plot graphs etc. Each of the 16 main sections ends with examples and solutions and suggestions for finding further information, with references to books, articles and links to web sites. There are also links to the web-based version of Stephen Wolfram's The Mathematica Book. Famous solved problems as well as some unsolved problems are described as well as much discussion of topics such as chaos theory, fractals, prime numbers, methods for calculating pi etc. There are many cultural and historical details included.

Extractions: This question has puzzled mathaticians for a very long time. Hopefully you didn't spend too much time looking for a graph with a chromatic number of 5 since it has now been proved that any graph will have a chromatic number of at most 4. This is called the Four Color Problem Map makers have known for a very long time that it only takes four colors to color a map so that none of the borders have the same color. In 1852, Francis Guthrie became intrigued by this and wanted to prove it. He passed the problem along to his brother, who then asked his profesor, DeMorgan. Over time, there were many conjectures and proofs offered to show that this was true. Even mathematicians make errors though and many flaws were found. In 1976 Appel and Heken developed a proof that has so far stood the test of time. The proof uses a computer and takes up a whole book. Heken has taken bets on the validity of their proof, so far he has won. Background information with some neat activities linked.
