| Jan 29 at 13:50 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @SakshamSethi You might want to look at Alexander Soifer's Mathematical Coloring Book, which de Grey cited as a source of inspiration. It is important, when learning to develop a research mindset, to avoid thinking of textbooks as mountains of material that you must climb. Soifer's book is an inspirational book more than an instructional book. Approach it as such and you will find that there is a lot you can do with very little knowledge. | |

| Jan 28 at 22:55 | comment | added | Saksham Sethi | Thanks a lot for the comprehensive answer. Since you are experienced with Graph Theory research, I hope you can answer the following question for me: In order to make progress on some unsolved problem about graph coloring, do I need to be familiar with all of the content from an introductory graph theory textbook, or would the knowledge from the "Coloring" chapter of that book suffice? | |
