Quo Vadis, Graph Theory? An Alaskan Conference on the Future Directions of Graph Theory
Abstract
The conference Quo Vadis, Graph Theory was held on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus August 13-16, 1990. The conference had 77 participants. Forty three were American citizens. Four came from industry. Two from the US- government. One from the Office of Naval Research as well as one from the Naval Postgraduate School. Other countries with representatives at the conference are Canada, Italy, Israel, Denmark, Rumania, South Africa, France, Germany, Poland, England and Hungary. One of the principal goals of the conference was to encourage active participation by women. In this, we were very successful; 20 women attended. Also, we wished to emphasize the importance of graph theory in education. In this we were very successful. Some interesting lectures were given and a very good discussion ensued which included some insightful remarks from some of our foreign participants on the educational techniques used in their countries. Also, we had many non-graph theorists participate, including many professors from the University of Alaska and a graduate student in math education from New York City.
