In this note we give two proofs of Brooks' Theorem. The first is obtained by modifying an earlier proof and the second by combining two earlier proofs. We believe these proofs are easier to teach in Computer Science courses.

Arguably the simplest variation of this style of proof as we avoid reducing to the cubic case entirely.

We give a new proof of Brooks' theorem that immediately implies a strengthening of Brooks' theorem, known as Catlin's theorem.

Lov\'asz gave a short proof of Brooks' theorem by coloring greedily in a good order. We give a different short proof by reducing to the cubic case. Then we show how to extend the result to (online) list coloring via the Kernel Lemma.

We give a simple short proof of Brooks' theorem using only induction and greedy coloring, while avoiding issues of graph connectivity. The argument generalizes easily to some extensions of Brooks' theorem, including its variants for list…

A short, fairly self-contained proof is given of the Poincar\'e Conjecture. In the previous version there was an error on Page 8. This gap has now been filled.

We give a proof of Brooks' theorem and its list coloring extension using the algebraic method of Alon and Tarsi; this also shows that the Brooks' theorem remains valid in a more general game coloring setting.
