Graph theory is a fundamental course relevant both to computer science and pure mathematics. As the course is being taught as a mathematics course, it will be a rigorous course with a focus on proofs and imaginative solutions to problems. Students should expect to be challenged and spend ample time and effort to understand and construct proofs and solve problems.
Some content should include trees, distance, connectivity, paths, graph coloring, and cycles.
For students in the Bachelor's program: If there is sufficient interest, a second course will be offered the following semester and then a concluding seminar by Professor Kai-Uwe Bux, where students can write a bachelor thesis.
Students enrolled in the old study model (2002) may use this course for one of the modules "Theoretische Mathematik I", "Theoretische Mathematik II", "Angewandte Mathematik I", or "Angewandte Mathematik II".
Required Mathematical Prerequisites: Linear Algebra I and II.
Language Prerequisites: English.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
Portfolio: at least 50% correct solutions on the assigned home work problems and passing of the final examination.
Examination: The course will include a written exam to be taken on one of two dates specified by the instructor ahead of time. The content will be similar to those problems assigned as practice during the course.
The course, including all lectures, homework, and exams, will be in English.
