There's a wrong statement at the bottom of pg 8

the formula E = V + 1 relating the number of edges E and the number of vertices V in a tree

 

[buchanan]

It should read E=V-1.

There is a proof on page 47 of Balakrishnan's Graph Theory.

The book is available for free download on the internet.

I have extracted pages 46 and 47 for you and have attached it.

The proof is problem 2.52, but read 2.50 and 2.51 first.

Hey the submission for the feedback on the new "specialist mathematics" course will close on 30th of July right? (making sure i am not interpreting the info incorrectly)

 

[buchanan]

Yes. That's right.

 

[k02033]

k thank you

 

[Affinity]

It is correct.

There is a proof of it on page 47 of Balakrishnan's Graph Theory.

The book is available for free download on the internet.

I have extracted pages 46 and 47 for you and have attached it.

The proof is problem 2.52, but read 2.50 and 2.51 first.

the draft says E = V + 1 when it should be E = V - 1

 

[buchanan]

Ah yes. You are right. Ta.

I think there are other errors as well, such as the dot point near the top of page 2 which describes graph theory:

• Graph theory - the algebraic equation of a curve and parametric equations to describe a curve

What they are describing is not graph theory.

The draft curricula will be redrafted later this year based on the current consultation round and a second consultation will take place over Feb-Apr next year with a final version mid next year.
