Thomas SaatyJournal: Mathematics MagazineThe original error discovered by Heawood in Kempe's attempt to prove the four-color conjecture is often encountered by many of those who follow the inductive argument approach to the problem. Perhaps the nature of the difficulty is not well appreciated. An old Chinese proverb urges that to know t...
