Bill Cook from the University of Waterloo (Canada) has received a research award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He will now work with Dr. h.c. Bernhard Korte, Director of the Research Institute for Discrete Mathematics, and the Cluster of Excellence Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) at the University of Bonn to intensify their collaboration. The prize is endowed with 60,000 euros. Mathematician Bill Cook is considered a world-leading expert on the "traveling salesman problem." How can a round trip through different cities be organized along the shortest route? Mathematicians have been racking their brains over this optimization problem for many decades.
