Graphs are fundamental objects in combinatorics, which can be used to model the relationships between the members of a network or system. They have many applications in areas such as computer science, statistical physics and computational biology. Specifically, a graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges, where (generally) an edge is an unordered pair of distinct vertices.

The course aims to cover various combinatorial aspects of graph theory and introduces some of the tools used to tackle graph theoretical questions. A particular focus will be on the use of probability to answer questions in graph theory. This is known as the "Probabilistic Method'', initiated by Erdös.
