Scientists From Graz
A scientist is a person who conducts scientific research to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences. In classical antiquity, there was no real ancient analog of a modern scientist. Instead, philosophers engaged in the philosophical study of nature called natural philosophy, a precursor of natural science. Though Thales (circa 624-545 BC) was arguably the first scientist for describing how cosmic events may be seen as natural, not necessarily caused by gods,Frank N. Magill''The Ancient World: Dictionary of World Biography'', Volume 1 Routledge, 2003 it was not until the 19th century that the term ''scientist'' came into regular use after it was coined by the theologian, philosopher, and historian of science William Whewell in 1833. In modern times, many scientists have advanced degrees in an area of science and pursue careers in various sectors of the economy such as academia, industry, government, and nonprofit environments.''''

German Language
German ( ) is a West Germanic language mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Italian province of South Tyrol. It is also a co-official language of Luxembourg and Belgium, as well as a national language in Namibia. Outside Germany, it is also spoken by German communities in France ( Bas-Rhin), Czech Republic (North Bohemia), Poland ( Upper Silesia), Slovakia (Bratislava Region), and Hungary ( Sopron). German is most similar to other languages within the West Germanic language branch, including Afrikaans, Dutch, English, the Frisian languages, Low German, Luxembourgish, Scots, and Yiddish. It also contains close similarities in vocabulary to some languages in the North Germanic group, such as Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language after English, which is also a West Germanic language. German ...

Frucht's Theorem
Frucht's theorem is a theorem in algebraic graph theory conjectured by Dénes Kőnig in 1936 and proved by Robert Frucht in 1939. It states that every finite group is the group of symmetries of a finite undirected graph. More strongly, for any finite group ''G'' there exist infinitely many non-isomorphic simple connected graphs such that the automorphism group of each of them is isomorphic to ''G''. Proof idea The main idea of the proof is to observe that the Cayley graph of ''G'', with the addition of colors and orientations on its edges to distinguish the generators of ''G'' from each other, has the desired automorphism group. Therefore, if each of these edges is replaced by an appropriate subgraph, such that each replacement subgraph is itself asymmetric and two replacements are isomorphic if and only if they replace edges of the same color, then the undirected graph created by performing these replacements will also have ''G'' as its symmetry group., discussion follow ...

Graph Product
In graph theory, a graph product is a binary operation on graphs. Specifically, it is an operation that takes two graphs and and produces a graph with the following properties: * The vertex set of is the Cartesian product , where and are the vertex sets of and , respectively. * Two vertices and of are connected by an edge, iff a condition about in and in is fulfilled. The graph products differ in what exactly this condition is. It is always about whether or not the vertices in are equal or connected by an edge. The terminology and notation for specific graph products in the literature varies quite a lot; even if the following may be considered somewhat standard, readers are advised to check what definition a particular author uses for a graph product, especially in older texts. Overview table The following table shows the most common graph products, with \sim denoting "is connected by an edge to", and \not\sim denoting non-connection. The operator symbols ...

Cayley Graph
In mathematics, a Cayley graph, also known as a Cayley color graph, Cayley diagram, group diagram, or color group is a graph that encodes the abstract structure of a group. Its definition is suggested by Cayley's theorem (named after Arthur Cayley), and uses a specified set of generators for the group. It is a central tool in combinatorial and geometric group theory. The structure and symmetry of Cayley graphs makes them particularly good candidates for constructing families of expander graphs. Definition Let G be a group and S be a generating set of G. The Cayley graph \Gamma = \Gamma(G,S) is an edge-colored directed graph constructed as follows: In his Collected Mathematical Papers 10: 403–405. * Each element g of G is assigned a vertex: the vertex set of \Gamma is identified with G. * Each element s of S is assigned a color c_s. * For every g \in G and s \in S, there is a directed edge of color c_s from the vertex corresponding to g to the one corresponding to gs. ...

University Of Montreal
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. ''University'' is derived from the Latin phrase ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The first universities in Europe were established by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (), Italy, which was founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *being a high degree-awarding institute. *using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *having independence from the ecclesiastic schools and issuing secular as well as non-secular degrees (with teaching conducted by both clergy and non-clergy): grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university in medieval life, 1179–1499", McFarland, 2008, , p. 55f.de Ridder-Symoens, Hilde' ...

Anton Kotzig
Anton Kotzig (22 October 1919 – 20 April 1991) was a Slovak–Canadian mathematician, expert in statistics, combinatorics and graph theory. The Ringel–Kotzig conjecture on graceful labeling of trees is named after him and Gerhard Ringel. Kotzig's theorem on the degrees of vertices in convex polyhedra is also named after him. Biography Kotzig was born in Kočovce, a village in Western Slovakia, in 1919. He studied at the secondary grammar school in Nové Mesto nad Váhom, and began his undergraduate studies at Charles University in Prague. After the closure of Czech universities in 1939, he moved to Bratislava, where in 1943 he earned a doctoral degree (RNDr.) in mathematical statistics from Comenius University in Bratislava.
