The College of Education for Pure Sciences Organizes a Training Course on the Applications of Graph Theory in Chemistry and Computer Science.

The Department of Mathematics at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Applications of Graph Theory in Chemistry and Computer Science.”

The course was presented by:

Dr. Ihsan Mazhar Rashid

Assistant Lecturer Sarai Hamza Talib

This course aimed to review graph theory as a branch of mathematics with applications in most fields of life, such as communications, natural sciences, and computer science, and to explain the applications of the theory in chemistry, particularly organic chemistry.

The course covered several topics, including an introduction to graph theory, a review of its origins and development as a branch of modern mathematics, and an explanation of the concepts of graphs, nodes, edges, and types of graphs. It then highlighted the importance of this branch in solving problems related to communications, transportation, networks, and natural sciences. Finally, it presented practical examples of how to use graph theory in mathematical modeling and decision-making.

The researchers recommended the importance of focusing on such topics to promote the integration of graph theory concepts into the curricula of mathematics, chemistry, and computer science departments. And to encourage students and researchers to use this theory in graduation projects and applied research because it offers effective solutions to scientific problems.
