[1] At the 57th annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society, held on December 27–29, 1950, Raoul Bott and Richard Duffin introduced the concept of a Wang algebra in their abstract (number 144t) The Wang algebra of networks.
[4] In 1969 Wai-Kai Chen used the Wang algebra formulation to give a unification of several different techniques for generating the trees of a graph.
[5] The Wang algebra formulation has been used to systematically generate King-Altman directed graph patterns.
Such patterns are useful in deriving rate equations in the theory of enzyme kinetics.
[6] According to Guo Jinhai, professor in the Institute for the History of Natural Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Ki Tung's pioneering method of analyzing electrical networks significantly promoted electrical engineering not only in China but in the rest of the world; the Wang algebra formulation is useful in electrical networks for solving problems involving topological methods, graph theory, and Hamiltonian cycles.
