• Resumen

  • We present the topic of graph connectivity along with a famous theorem of Menger in the real-world setting of the national computer network infrastructure of National LambdaRail. We include a set of exercises where students reinforce their understanding of graph connectivity by analysing the National LambdaRail network. Finally, we give suggestions for using this module as a project in an undergraduate mathematics course.
