Introduction to Graph Theory


This introduction to Graph Theory is intended to be accessible for a wider audience, with little prerequisite mathematical knowledge.

The first part will introduce us to basic vocabulary and ideas behind Graph Theory, such as complete graphs, degree, Euler paths, Hamiltonian circuits, isomorphism, and the Four Color Theorem.

The second part will proceed to slightly more complicated ideas, puzzles, and applications— hopefully including some of our own invention.
