Discrete Math Resources

Links found through Merlot for Discrete Math/Graph Theory:
  • Graph Theory Lessons (java applets)
    • Description: The applets contain topics typically found in undergraduate graph theory and discrete structures classes like null graphs, the handshaking lemma, isomorphism, complete graphs, subgraphs, regular graphs, platonic graphs, adjacency matrices, graph coloring, bipartite graphs, simple circuits, Euler and Hamilton circuits, trees, unions and sums of graphs, complements of graphs, line graphs, spanning trees, plane graphs, shortest paths, minimal spanning trees. The applet utilizes Petersen software written by the author. Peterson can draw, edit and manipulate simple graphs, examine properties of the graphs, and demonstrate them using computer animation.
  • Discrete Math (flash applets)
    • This site consists of examples, exercises, games, and other learning activities associated with the textbook, Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns and Games by Doug Ensley and Winston Crawley. Requires Adobe Flash player.
  • The Discrete Mathematics Project
    • Demonstrates real-world applications of math to all those students who say, "How will I ever use this?" You don't get much more real world than solving the problems of dividing estates fairly, apportioning legislative seats, or cutting a cake in even pieces. Each activity includes printable worksheet materials as you incorporate this standards-based subject--discrete mathematics--in your math classes (grade 9 and up).
