Graph theory as a method of improving chemistry and mathematics curricula

Very often various classes in schools are presented independently. An important part of schooling should be that pupils learn how the various subjects relate to each other. This paper deals with one possible way of showing such a relationship between chemistry and mathematics using the mathematical discipline of graph theory. The discipline is mostly ignored on pre- universitary level, although the basic principles are easy to understand and have very natural applications in chemistry. In this paper is shown how graph theory can be introduced in a simple way and simultaneously with its application in chemistry.
