Abstract
The graphs which you will encounter in this chapter are very simple objects at first glance – so simple that most people wouldn’t associate them with mathematics. They bear no relation to formulas or equations, nor to geometry. But thinking about them leads to a lot of interesting mathematics, and you will discover some of that mathematics in this chapter. You will use mathematical induction in a new context and learn some new techniques for problem-solving, like counting in two ways and even/odd arguments.
