5 Questions
What is graph theory?
Graph theory is the study of mathematical structures called graphs that are used to model pair wise relations between objects from a certain collection.
What are graphs and how are they useful?
Graphs are a class of discrete structures useful for representing relations among objects. They consist of vertices (nodes) connected by edges. The theory about graphs can be used to solve a lot of important problems.
Who is credited with the origin of graph theory and what problem is it traced back to?
Leonard Euler is credited with the origin of graph theory, traced back to his work on the 'Konigsberg bridge problem' in 1736.
What was the first graph theory problem and where did it originate?
The first graph theory problem was the 'Königsberg bridge problem' in the city of Königsberg, Germany. It involved determining if a path could be planned to cross over each of the seven bridges exactly once and return to the starting point.
Can you provide an example of a graph with its vertices and edges?
A possible example could be a graph with vertices V={A,B,C,D} and edges E={e1,e2,e3,e4,e5,e6,e7}.
