Extractions: P J Heawood 's father was the Reverend John Richard Heawood. He had a brother, Edward Heawood, who went on to become librarian for the Royal Geographical Society, holding the position for over 30 years. Heawood attended Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Ipswich being awarded an Open Scholarship to study at Exeter College, Oxford, in 1880. There Heawood was most influenced by Henry Smith and he went on to be a Wrangler in 1883 (the year in which Henry Smith died). Heawood was awarded a Junior Mathematical Scholarship in 1882 and a Senior Mathematical Scholarship in 1886. In 1886 he was also awarded the Lady Herschell Prize. In 1887 Heawood was appointed Lecturer in Mathematics at Durham Colleges (later Durham University). Three years later, in June 1890, he married Christiana Tristram who was the daughter of Canon H B Tristram who was a biblical scholar, traveller and naturalist. They had a son and a daughter and enjoyed over sixty years of marriage, celebrating their diamond wedding in June 1950. In fact Heawood worked at Durham University all his life being appointed to the Chair of Mathematics there in 1911. He served the university in many capacities, in particular he was a member of the Senate from 1905 and served as Vice-Chancellor from 1926 to 1928. He did not retire until 1939 when he was 78 years of age but still went on to enjoy 16 years of retirement.

Colorful Mathematics: Part I was so convincing that it was quite a few years before percy heawood noticed that it was incorrect The mistake was noted by percy John heawood ( 18611955) in 1890 http://www.ams.org/new-in-math/cover/coloring5.html
Extractions: Having noticed that it appears that any plane map can be colored with four or fewer colors, attempts were made to prove this result. One person who responded to the challenge of trying to prove the four-color conjecture was Alfred Bray Kempe . Kempe (1849-1922) had studied with the distinguished British mathematician Arthur Cayley when he was a student at Cambridge University. Although Kempe earned his living as a lawyer (barrister), he made significant contributions to mathematics in several different areas. He presented an ingenious argument in attempting to prove the four-color conjecture. His ideas have proved to be very important to the future of coloring problems even though the way he used his ideas in attempting to prove the four-color problem were not fully correct. Kempe's argument was so convincing that it was quite a few years before Percy Heawood noticed that it was incorrect. Kempe's approach reduced the problem to coloring the faces of 3-valent plane maps. The key idea of the proof involved is what are known today as Kempe chains . Suppose that one is coloring a map and one has a 4-sided region R which has faces which have been already colored with the four colors available. Kempe wanted to be able to recolor the map so that the coloring rule was met but that R could be colored. Suppose the colors ( a b c , and d ) around the region R are as represented in the diagram below:

Extractions: The Four-Color Map Problem When I was around a dozen years old I became enamored of the four-color map problem. I'm not sure how I discovered it: I remember a science-fiction story in which the problem was described. As I recall, the story's narrator discovers a solution that he then could no longer remember. E. C. Bridgman's, 1896 Rail Road and Township map of New York illustrates the four color mapping problem - as a practical matter, green, yellow, pink and tan are sufficient to map the townships. Some say the four color theorum was finally proved by Appel and Haken in 1976, but others claim that the question is yet to be resolved satisfactorily.

How many colors are required to color any map so that no countries with common borders are the same color? It is generally held that four colors, for any flat map, will suffice. But a belief that is commonly held and easily observed, is not a mathematical certainty. Nor does the simplicity of a question reflect the ease with which the answer can be proven. The mathematical evidence to create a valid proof that four colors are all that is required had evaded mathematicians for nearly 140 years. What became known as the Four Color Conjecture has been the cause of great fascination and frustration. It has also been the stimulus for new ideas in topology, knot theory, and the concept of mathematical proof. The question was originally posed by Francis Guthrie, a former student of the famous mathematician Augustus De Morgan, in 1852. Although Francis moved on to study law, his brother Frederick Guthrie had become a student of De Morgan. Francis Guthrie presented his work on the idea to his brother asking that he pass it along to De Morgan.
