Haken","doi":"10.2307/3027373","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/3027373","url":null,"abstract":"The fundamental reason that the unavoidable set argument worked whereas other approaches to the Four-Color Conjecture did not is that all other approaches need somewhat stronger theoretical tools to make their methods apply. While these might be possible to create, there is no guarantee that they are actually possible; and if they are, there is no obvious way to go about finding them. On the other hand, many mathematicians have believed that an unavoidable set of reducible configurations might exist, but that a smallest such set was beyond the bounds of reasonable computation. This attitude appears justified when the problem is considered with respect to the tools available prior to 1960. After 1960, with the advent of faster computers, there were still strong reasons to believe that the computations would be infeasibly large, but there were certainly no theoretical difficulties to overcome other than the choice of a method for obtaining an unavoidable set. Thus by 1970 it became a problem of discovering whether efficient use of known techniques and technical (as opposed to theoretical) improvements would enable one to find an unavoidable set of reducible configurations. Most mathematicians who were educated prior to the development of fast computers tend not to think of the computer as a routine tool to be used in conjunction with other older and more theoretical tools in advancing mathematical knowledge. Thus they intuitively feel that if an argument contains parts that are not verifiable by hand calculations it is on rather insecure ground. There is a tendency to feel that verification of computer results by independent computer programs is not as certain to be correct as independent hand checking of the proof of theorems proved in the standard way.","PeriodicalId":448750,"journal":{"name":"Two-Year College Mathematics Journal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134182625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
