Four Color Fest was held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the proof of the Four Color Theorem and as a part of the 2017 sesquicentennial celebration of the founding of the University of Illinois.
The Four Color Theorem Exhibit was on display in the Mathematics Library October 17, 2017. For a full list of all items on display, visit A Colorful Topic: Four Color Fest.
