Lesson 2: Hello Mr Euler…
Where graph theory came from…
Let’s learn some definitions…
Trail (or route)
Closed Trail
Path
Cycle
Order
Connected Graph
Eulerian Graph
• CHECK: A connected graph is Eulerian if and only if every node has an even order
√ X
• A connected graph which has a closed trail containing every arc precisely once

Semi-Eulerian Graph
• CHECK: A connected graph is Semi-Eulerian if and only if precisely two nodes have odd order
• A graph which has a trail that is not closed that contains every arc precisely once
