In mathematics, the four color theorem, or the four-color map theorem, states that no more than four colors are required to color the regions of any map so that no two adjacent regions have the same c

…uncomfortable talking about it to strangers even now." Wilson's academic interests lie in graph theory, particularly in colouring problems, e.g. the four colour problem, and algebraic properties of graphs. He also researches the history of mathematics, particularly British mathematics and mathematics in the 17th century…
As they had with Donald Gillies' discovery of the then-largest prime number using ILLIAC II in 1963, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Mathematics department celebrated the discovery of Appel and Haken's computer-aided proof of the Four color theorem by altering their postage meter.
