Graph Theory

-->
  • Graph theory is the study of graphs used in mathematics to show relationship between items of a collection.
  • Fast Facts

    1. Is a branch of Discrete Mathematics
    2. [http: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler Leonhard Euler] is first known contributor
    3. Applications are usually with labeled graphs
    4. Used in sociology, chemistry and physics
    5. Related areas of mathematics are combinatorics and group theory
    6. Most famous problem is the four color problem
  • Glossary

    1. Graph: Is made up of two elements, vertices and edges
    2. Vertex: The basic element of a graph, exists as a single node
    3. Order: The total number of vertices contained in a graph
    4. Edge: The line that connects two vertices to one another
    5. Tree: A type of acyclic graph
    6. Subgraph: A subset of a larger graph that contains at the least all of the elements of the smaller graph
    7. Walk: Alternating series of vertices and edges capped on both ends by a vertex
