Synopsis "The Mathematical Coloring Book: Mathematics of Coloring and the Colorful Life of Its Creators"
This book is dedicated to problems involving colored objects, and to results about the existence of certain exciting and unexpected properties that occur regardless of how these objects are colored. In mathematics, these results comprise the beautiful area known as Ramsey Theory. Ramsey Theory includes parts of many fields of mathematics, including combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. This book addresses famous and exciting problems of Ramsey Theory, along with the history surrounding the discovery of Ramsey Theory. In addition, the author studies the life of Issai Schur, Pierre Joseph Henry Baudet and B.L. van der Waerden. Due to the author's correspondence with van der Waerden, Erdös, and Schur, this book contains material that has never before been published. Historians of mathematics will herein find much new information, along with old errors corrected and published here for the first time in book form.
