Graph Theory – Theory
Welcome to the exciting world of graph theory! Don’t worry if the name sounds intimidating – at its heart, it’s all about representing relationships between things using points (nodes or vertices) and lines (edges). Think social networks, road maps, or even the connections in a computer network. This section will gently guide you through the fundamental concepts, providing a solid base for understanding and applying graph theory in various contexts. Let’s explore these fascinating structures together!
