The “Discrete Mathematics” quest in The Outer Worlds 2 comes with a hefty stack of obstacles, starting with its pickup point. You’ll have to avoid explosives, defeat invisible enemies, and solve a ...

ABSTRACT: Let G=( V,E ) be a graph. The first Zagreb index of a graph G is defined as ∑ u∈V d G 2 ( u ) , where d G ( u ) is the degree of vertex u in G . In this paper, we obtain two lower bounds ...

Abstract: Hodge theory provides a unifying view of the various line, surface, and volume integrals that appear in physics and engineering applications. Hodge theory on graphs develops discrete ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 2003, a German graduate student named Britta Späth encountered the McKay conjecture, one of the biggest open problems in the ...

In October 2015 my time training mathematics teachers at a French high school in Port Vila, Vanuatu, was coming to an end. The principal invited me to share kava, a traditional drink in the country.

Abstract: One of the most important fields in discrete mathematics is graph theory. Graph theory is discrete structures, consisting of vertices and edges that connect these vertices. Problems in ...
