applies network techniques to solve network problems
Describe a network as a collection of objects (vertices) interconnected by lines (edges) that can represent systems in the real world
Define and use the network terminology: vertex, edge, degree, directed networks and weighted edges
Examine circumstances in which networks are used in a variety of real-world applications
Construct a network diagram to represent information from a given table or map, showing weighted and directed edges
Solve problems involving network diagrams in a variety of practical contexts
Define and use the network terminology: path, tree, spanning tree and minimum spanning tree
Determine the minimum spanning tree of a network with weighted edges, using any method
Use minimum spanning trees to solve minimal connector problems
Identify a shortest path on a network diagram with no more than 10 vertices
Describe a circumstance in which a shortest path is not necessarily the best path nor contained in any minimum spanning tree
