Graphs and NetworksApplications

The links between atoms in molecules and crystal grids form a graph.

The spread of diseases and epidemics can be modelled using a network.

In Biology, the evolutionary trees that show the ancestry of species form a graph.

The different components of electric circuits and computer chips form a network.

The grammatical structure of languages can be modelled using graphs, for example to create translation algorithms.

Graphs also have many applications in probability, game theory and financial mathematics.
