Chapter Chapter 1 in Hamiltonian Cycle Problem and Markov Chains, 2012, pp 3-8 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805–1865) was a famous mathematician and physicist, well-known for his vast contribution in various fields such as optics, classical mechanics and algebra. However, it is a lesser known fact that Sir William was the inventor of a commercial game, the mathematically generalised version of which later became one of the most difficult graph theoretic problems. Towards the end of his life, in 1857, Sir William Rowan Hamilton designed a game called Icosian.
