Abstract: I will survey proof techniques, results, and open problems concerning the real zeros of chromatic polynomials and flow polynomials of graphs. In particular I will present a multivariate proof, due to Alan Sokal and myself, of the result that chromatic polynomials have no roots in the interval (1,32/27], which is much simpler than my original proof.
