| | Amazon.com: Introduction to Graph Theory (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics): Books: Richard J. Trudeau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Requiring only high school algebra as mathematical background, the book leads the reader from simple graphs through planar graphs, Euler’s formula, Platonic graphs, coloring, the genus of a graph, Euler walks, Hamilton walks, and a discussion of The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg. |
 | | To give an idea of the depth of this book, I read this book in about 6 hours prior to taking a course in graph theory (an undergraduate and graduate student mixed course), and the material in the book was covered in class in about 4 lectures (there were about 30 lectures in the course). |
 | | Trudeau has done a fabulous job of introducing graph theory in a way which is understandable and intellectually provocative. |
