We introduce such topics as Euler Tours, the Handshaking graphgraph Theorem, and a simple illustration of Ramsey Theory. Introduction Introduction IntroductionIntroduction An Intel engineer designs a new revolutionary VSLI circuit. A computer scientist creates a computer network. A sociologist ponders a diagram illustrating the power structure of a large corporation. A biochemist discovers the physical structure of a complex molecule. What do all these patterns have in common? They are all examples of what is called a graph. graph You have graphgraph already heard of the word “graph” in calculus in connection with the graphing of functions, but the graph we study here is a different kind of graph. Here, a graph refers to finite set of points, called verticvertices, along with lines or curves, es verticesvertices called edgesedges, connecting some or all of
