Study Notes
Graph Theory Origins
- Graph theory originated from the Konigsberg Bridge Problem.
Konigsberg Bridge Problem
- The Konigsberg Bridge Problem was solved by Leonhard Euler.
- The problem involved finding a route that would allow someone to cross all seven bridges in Königsberg, Prussia, without crossing any bridge more than once.
Theory of Trees
- Gustav Kirchhoff developed the theory of trees to solve electrical circuit problems.
- The theory of trees is a part of graph theory.
Significance of Graph Theory
- Graph theory is becoming increasingly significant due to its applications in computer science, networking, and other fields.
Hamilton's Game
- The object of Hamilton's game is to find a cycle that visits each vertex of a graph exactly once.
