Assignment: Applications Of Graph Theory
In 1736, a famous Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783) started the work in the area of Graph Theory through his successful attempt in solving the problem of "Seven Bridges of Konigsberg." Graph Theory solved many problems in multiple fields (Chinese Postman Problem, DNA fragment assembly, and aircraft scheduling.) In Chemistry, Graph Theory is used in the study of molecules, construction of bonds in chemistry, and the study of atoms. In Biology, Graph Theory is used in the study of breeding patterns or tracking the spread of disease.
Write a three to five page paper in which you:
1. Choose two applications for graph theory within your area of specialization (Networking, Security, Databases, Data Mining, Programming, etc.).
2. Examine how these applications are being used in your specialization.
3. Determine how graph theory has advanced the knowledge in your area of specialization.
4. Conclude how you will apply graph theory in your area of specialization.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
• Model relationships with graphs, functions, and trees.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in discrete math.
• Write clearly and concisely about discrete math using proper writing mechanics.
