How Graph Theory Can Help Control Cattle Diseases: London Mathematical Society Newsletter (250KB, pdf) Jess Enright London Mathematical Society Newsletter September 2018: I think that everyone can benefit from a little graph theory — in this article I argue that this includes cows. I’ll describe several ways that a British cattle dataset can be interpreted as a graph, and outline some algorithmic work on optimally modifying these graphs to limit worst-case disease outbreaks.
