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.

See How to Edit and Style and How-to for help, or this article's talk page Example of a four color map The four color theorem states that any plane separated into regions, such as a political map of the counties of a state, can be colored using no more than four colors in such a way that no two adjacent regions receive the same color. Two regions are called adjacent if they share a border segment, not just a point. Each region must be contiguous - that is it may not be partitioned as are Michigan and Azerbaijan It is obvious that three colors are inadequate, and it is not at all difficult to prove that five colors are sufficient to color a map.

Kempe ( bio at St Andrews ) first used these chains, now called after him, in 1879 in a ``proof'' of the four-color conjecture . Although Percy Heawood found a flaw in his proof 11 years later, the idea of Kempe chains itself is quite sound. Heawood used it to prove 5 colors suffice for maps on the plane , and the 1976 proof by Appel, Haken and Koch is also based on Kempe's ideas. The original Kempe chains were used in the context of colorings of countries on a map, or in modern terminology face colorings of a plane graph (such that no two adjacent faces receive the same color). The idea was extended by Heawood to embeddings of a graph in any other surface. Here

The Four Colour Conjecture The Four Colour Conjecture first seems to have been made by Francis Guthrie. He was a student at University College London where he studied under De Morgan. After graduating from London he studied law but by this time his brother Frederick Guthrie had become a student of De Morgan. Francis Guthrie showed his brother some results he had been trying to prove about the colouring of maps and asked Frederick to ask De Morgan about them. De Morgan was unable to give an answer but, on 23 October 1852, the same day he was asked the question, he wrote to Hamilton in Dublin. De Morgan wrote:- A student of mine asked me today to give him a reason for a fact which I did not know was a fact - and do not yet. He says that if a figure be anyhow divided and the compartments differently coloured so that figures with any portion of common boundary line are differently coloured - four colours may be wanted, but not more - the following is the case in which four colours are wanted. Query cannot a necessity for five or more be invented. ...... If you retort with some very simple case which makes me out a stupid animal, I think I must do as the Sphynx did.... Hamilton replied on 26 October 1852 (showing the efficiency of both himself and the postal service):- I am not likely to attempt your quaternion of colour very soon.

Colorful Mathematics: Part I Feature Column Archive 5. Some history 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: Now consider all the regions that are colored
