Title: Graph Theory as an Integral Part of Mathematics

Abstract:

Nobody doubts the significance of applications of graph theory to other sciences (e.g. electrical engineering, psychology, economics) or to real life problems. However, in this talk, we concentrate on a different type of applications; the possibility of utilization of graph theory methods in other branches of mathematics. To demonstrate this kind of applications, graph theoretical proofs of well-known theorems in set theory, number theory, analysis, etc. will be presented.
