During the university reform of the 1970s, the classical Faculty of Science of the venerable Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat in Munich was divided into five smaller faculties.

This book discusses a famous problem that helped to define the field now known as topology: What is the minimum number of colors required to print a map so that no two adjoining countries have the same color? This problem remained unsolved until the 1950s, when it was finally cracked using a computer. This book discusses the history and mathematics of the problem, as well as the philosophical debate which ensued, regarding the validity of computer generated proofs.
