Graphs: vertices, edges, degrees
The basic objects of graph theory and the handshake lemma.
A graph is a set of vertices with edges between some pairs. The handshake lemma: the degrees sum to twice the number of edges, so the number of odd-degree vertices is even. Picture it: dots and lines; a complete graph on 5 vertices has 10 edges, which is 5 choose 2. Think it: graphs are relations drawn; the adjacency matrix makes them linear algebra.

قدم به قدم
- \sum_{k=1}^{5} k
Write the sum out.
- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
Expand the terms.
- = 15
Closed form.

سوالاتي که مردم ميپرسن
Permutation or combination?
Ask whether order matters. A lock code is a permutation (order matters); a hand of cards is a combination (it does not).
What is a graph in this sense?
Dots (vertices) joined by lines (edges), not a plot. Road maps, social networks and molecules are graphs; questions like "is there a route" and "how few colours" are graph theory.
