Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: A Party of Six

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson use graph theory to examine social network analysis. Students form complete graphs with different colored edges (representing acquaintance or non-acquaintance), and determine how many vertices must be present in order for a number of mutual acquaintances to exist. Students then learn briefly about Ramsey Theory and are left to find their own Ramsey Numbers.
