I am very honored to have been designated the “Scientist-in-Residence” of the New York Academy of Sciences for the current week. This is an honor comparable to any of those which I have already enjoyed. By definition, an independent discovery in graph theory occurs when two people or groups of people working independently discover essentially the same result. Usually these discoveries occur at about the same time, but they can be separated by periods of many years, as you will see from some of our examples. I should make it clear at the outset that I really mean independent discoveries in graph theory, not independent discoveries of graph theory. The latter, of course, refers to
