Preface
Our world is changing rapidly. Yesterday it was a small and closed world with boundaries, but today it is an open world without any boundaries. But the biggest change is change itself. Yesterday changes were smooth, so we could differentiate them mathematically. Therefore, we could predict the future. Today, they change sharply, so we cannot differentiate them. We cannot predict the future anymore. We are left with no other choice than to adapt to the frequently and extensively changing environments and situations. It was an explicit and verbal world yesterday, or we may say it is a continuous world. But today, it becomes nonverbal and discrete. Due to the rapidly expanding world, the degrees of freedom increase tremendously, so we cannot verbalize our world anymore. When the world is continuous, we can apply mathematical analysis approaches, but now the world is discrete, so we need to change from mathematical analysis to algebra or discrete mathematics. Graph theory is emerging as an important tool. The importance of teamworking, therefore, is increasing rapidly. Yesterday, we could solve the problem individually, but the complex and complicated world today calls for teamworking. And
