History
Extremal graph theory, in its strictest sense, is a branch of graph theory developed and loved by Hungarians.
Bollobás (2004)Extremal graph theory started in 1941 when Turán proved his theorem determining those graphs of order n, not containing the complete graph Kk of order k, and extremal with respect to size (that is, with as many edges as possible). Another crucial year for the subject was 1975 when Szemerédi proved his result a vital tool in attacking extremal problems.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”

Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
