A quiver is sometimes said to be simply a directed graph, but in practice it is a directed graph with vector spaces attached to the vertices and linear transformations attached to the arcs.
In a weighted graph or digraph, each edge is associated with some value, variously called its cost, weight, length or other term depending on the application; such graphs arise in many contexts, for example in optimal route problems such as the traveling salesman problem.
Every graph gives rise to a matroid, but in general the graph cannot be recovered from its matroid, so matroids are not truly generalizations of graphs.

In elementary mathematics, "graph" refers to a function graph or "graph of a function," i.e., a plot.
The edges, vertices, or both of a graph may be assigned specific values, labels, or colors, in which case the graph is called a labeled graph.
A directed graph in which each edge is given a unique direction (i.e., edges may not be bidirected and point on both directions as once) is called an oriented graph.

Discrete mathematics is quite different from other areas in mathematics which you may have already studied, such as algebra, geometry, or calculus.
As a textbook used for discrete mathematics and graph theory, there are many topics which must be covered.
Graph theory is the subject of Chapters 9 through 15, and again we find that there is more material here than can be successfully treated in thirty-three lectures.

 Discrete Mathematics and Graph Theory
Discrete mathematics is the study of finite systems and includes such areas as combinatorics, graph theory, algorithms and optimization.
On the international level, research activity in discrete mathematics has increased very strongly over the last 20 years, in part stimulated by close relations with the expanding area of theoretical computer science.
Among the specific topics being studied are graph colouring theory, extremal graph theory, directed graphs, network flows, scheduling problems, algorithms and complexity theory.

 Graph (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A distinction between a directed graph and an oriented simple graph is that if x and y are vertices, a directed graph allows both (x,y) and (y,x) as edges, while only one is permitted in an oriented graph.
In a complete bipartite graph, the vertex set is the union of two disjoint subsets, W and X, so that every vertex in W is adjacent to every vertex in X but there are no edges within W or X.
In a bipartite graph, the vertices can be divided into two sets, W and X, so that every edge has one vertex in each of the two sets.

This mathematically rigorous introduction is tempered and enlivened by numerous illustrations, revealing examples, seductive applications, and historical references.
These strands center, respectively, around matching theory; planar graphs and hamiltonian cycles; topics involving chordal graphs and oriented graphs that naturally emerge from recent developments in the theory of graphic sequences; and an edge coloring strand that embraces both Ramsey theory and a self-contained introduction to Pólya's enumeration of nonisomorphic graphs.
In the edge coloring strand, the reader is presumed to be familiar with the disjoint cycle factorization of a permutation.

 Games on Graphs
Each story can be acted out on a graph that is drawn on the floor, with a student taking the part of each one of the characters.
Students can also play the games on a table using a graph that is drawn on a piece of paper for a game board and moving marking pieces that show the actions of the characters.
Because the distances in these graphs are different from the graph in The Land of Many Ponds, the students need more complex strategies to play that they had to use with that particular graph.

This question can be changed to "how many colors does it take to color a planar graph?" In this tutorial we explain how to change the map to a graph and then how to answer the question for a graph.

 Amazon.fr : Algebraic Graph Theory: Livres en anglais: Norman L. Biggs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In this substantial revision of a much-quoted monograph first published in 1974, Dr. Biggs aims to express properties of graphs in algebraic terms, then to deduce theorems about them.
In the first section, he tackles the applications of linear algebra and matrix theory to the study of graphs; algebraic constructions such as adjacency matrix and the incidence matrix and their applications are discussed in depth.
There follows an extensive account of the theory of chromatic polynomials, a subject that has strong links with the "interaction models" studied in theoretical physics, and the theory of knots.

So, for example, if you wanted to graph the height of a ball after you have thrown it, you could put time along the horizontal, or x-axis, and height along the vertical, or y-axis.
This is done by either not using consistent scales on the axes, meaning that the value in between each point along the axis may not be the same, or when comparing two graphs using different scales for each.

 Amazon.com: Introduction to Graph Theory (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics): Books: Richard J. Trudeau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Requiring only high school algebra as mathematical background, the book leads the reader from simple graphs through planar graphs, Euler’s formula, Platonic graphs, coloring, the genus of a graph, Euler walks, Hamilton walks, and a discussion of The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg.
To give an idea of the depth of this book, I read this book in about 6 hours prior to taking a course in graph theory (an undergraduate and graduate student mixed course), and the material in the book was covered in class in about 4 lectures (there were about 30 lectures in the course).
Trudeau has done a fabulous job of introducing graph theory in a way which is understandable and intellectually provocative.

 Grammatica -- from Mathematica Information Center   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Grammatica is a library of Mathematica functions for algebraic graph transformation, built on top of the Combinatorica package written by Steven Skiena.
The implementation takes the form of a package, and it consists of Mathematica functions for representing, manipulating, displaying and transforming graphs, as well as functions implementing some algebraic operations on graphs.
It supports both interactive and automatic application of double-pushout graph productions, being therefore both a teaching aid and a research tool for algebraic graph transformation.

However, I will not be adopting it because of the large amount of graph theory, which is approximately forty percent of the book.
Therefore, while the book is not suitable for my needs, it would be a perfect fit for anyone teaching discrete mathematics where there was an emphasis on graph theory.
Although discrete mathematics is not meant to be all that numerically focused, I do not recommend using this text at all.
