Wolfgang Haken is a German mathematician known primarily for his contributions to topology and geometric topology. He is particularly famous for his work on the Four Color Theorem, which states that any map can be colored with no more than four colors in such a way that no two adjacent regions share the same color. Haken, along with Kenneth Appel, was one of the first to provide a computer-assisted proof of this theorem in 1976.
