From specialists in the field, you will learn about interesting connections and recent developments in the field of graph theory by looking in particular at Cartesian products-arguably the most important of the four standard graph products. Many new results in this area appear for the first time in print in this book. Written in an accessible way, this book can be used for personal study in advanced applications of graph theory or for an advanced graph theory course.

Learn about the boy who
could read and add numbers when he was three years old,
thwarted his teacher by finding a quick and easy way to sum the numbers 1-100,
attracted the attention of a Duke with his genius,
and became the man who…
predicted the reappearance of a lost planet,
discovered basic properties of magnetic forces,
invented a surveying tool used by professionals until the invention of lasers.
Based on extensive research of original and secondary sources, this historical narrative will inspire young readers and even curious adults with its touching story of personal achievement.

Keith Devlin and Jonathan Borwein, two well-known mathematicians with expertise in different mathematical specialties but with a common interest in experimentation in mathematics, have joined forces to create this introduction to experimental mathematics. They cover a variety of topics and examples to give the reader a good sense of the current state of play in the rapidly growing new field of experimental mathematics. The writing is clear and the explanations are enhanced by relevant historical facts and stories of mathematicians and their encounters with the field over time.

Summary
This vividly illustrated history of the International Congress of Mathematicians ? a meeting of mathematicians from around the world held roughly every four years ? acts as a visual history of the 25 congresses held between 1897 and 2006, as well as a story of changes in the culture of mathematics over the past century. Because the congress is an international meeting, looking at its history allows us a glimpse into the effect of wars and strained relations between nations on the scientific community.
