Colloquium 02/14: Mr. Michael Guyer

Our next colloquium will be on Tuesday February 14 at 1:00pm in Bush Mathematical Sciences Building 357. Mr. Michael Guyer from Auburn University will speak on The Intersection of Structural and Chromatic Graph Theory.

Abstract: Structural graph theory and chromatic graph theory are both rich areas of study in discrete mathematics. In this talk, I will introduce some of the key concepts in these areas and graph theory more broadly. The history of three large conjectures lying at the intersection of these domains will be reviewed and their inspiration for my current research will be explained. Some particular aspects of my research will be highlighted, including ongoing work that has potential for undergraduate research opportunities. (flyer in PDF form)
