Pearls in Graph Theory: A Comprehensive Introduction (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Nora Hartsfield (PDF)

Description

Innovative introductory text . . . clear exposition of unusual and more advanced topics . . . Develops material to substantial level. — American Mathematical Monthly”Refreshingly different . . . an ideal training ground for the mathematical process of investigation, generalization, and conjecture leading to the discovery of proofs and counterexamples.” — American Mathematical Monthly” . . . An excellent textbook for an undergraduate course.” — Australian Computer JournalA stimulating view of mathematics that appeals to students as well as teachers, this undergraduate-level text is written in an informal style that does not sacrifice depth or challenge. Based on 20 years of teaching by the leading researcher in graph theory, it offers a solid foundation on the subject. This revised and augmented edition features new exercises, simplifications, and other improvements suggested by classroom users and reviewers. Topics include basic graph theory, colorings of graphs, circuits and cycles, labeling graphs, drawings of graphs, measurements of closeness to planarity, graphs on surfaces, and applications and algorithms. 1994 edition.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I used this book several times to teach graph theory. Very thoughtful choice of accessible and interesting topics for undergraduate students. The presentation is not too formal.

⭐Everything was fine, thank you!

⭐I think that this is a high quality exposition of some aspects of graph theory. I worked with it for about fifty hours or so, and then concluded that, for me, it was not the best way to get into the subject. I decided to proceed more gradually into the subject using Chartrand’s A First Course in Graph Theory., where the development is more measured, where there are more exercises, about half with solutions at the back of the book, and where there are many supplemental sections, not necessary for the development, but helpful in deepening the understanding of the main topic of a given chapter. i keep the ‘Pearls” book on my shelf, with some confidence that after a while i will be able to understand more easily some of the material that i had some trouble with..
