Ten lessons on a kind of mathematics that throws away almost everything. Distances, directions and shapes all disappear, leaving only which things are connected to which, and that turns out to be enough to answer questions about social media, supply chains, circuit boards and a puzzle about seven bridges that nobody could solve for two hundred years.
This is a Path focus area, and unlike most of the others it prepares you for Mathematics Standard rather than Mathematics Advanced. Networks return in the Year 12 Standard course, where shortest paths, minimum spanning trees and critical path analysis all build directly on the vertices, edges and degrees introduced here.
