Denes Konig was a Hungarian mathematician of Hungarian Jewish heritage, born on 21 September 1884 and died on 19 October 1944. He worked in and wrote the first textbook on the field of graph theory, the study of networks of vertices joined by edges. A graph in this sense is a set of points joined by lines, and Konig's book gathered the early results on such structures into a single textbook at a time when the subject had little written exposition.
