Students deepen and expand the knowledge of graph theory. They learn applicability of graphs and networks in different fields of mathematics (combinatorics, linear algebra, group theory, partially ordered sets...) and possibilities for their applications in other fields of science.

Knowledge and understanding:
Students get acquainted in detail with the selected topics from graph theory. They learn about the latest results in the field and its applications in mathematics and other fields of science.

Lectures, exercises, homework, consultations, projects.

Continuing (homework, midterm exams, project work)
Final (written and oral exam)
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
