Now, let us look at Graph Theory in Sage.
-Graph: G = Graph({0:[1,2,3], 2:[4]})
-Directed Graph: DiGraph(dictionary)
-Graph families: graphs. tab
-Invariants: G.chromatic polynomial(), G.is planar()
-Paths: G.shortest path()
-Visualize: G.plot(), G.plot3d()
-Automorphisms: G.automorphism group(), G1.is isomorphic(G2), G1.is subgraph(G2)
+We shall look at some ways to create graphs and some of the graph
+families available in Sage.
+
+The simplest way to define an arbitrary graph is to use a dictionary
+of lists. We create a simple graph by
+::
+
+ G = Graph({0:[1,2,3], 2:[4]})
+
+We say
+::
+
+ G.show()
+
+to view the visualization of the graph.
+
+Similarly, we can obtain a directed graph using the ``DiGraph``
+function.
+::
+
+ G = DiGraph({0:[1,2,3], 2:[4]})
+
+
+Sage also provides a lot of graph families which can be viewed by
+typing ``graph.<tab>``. Let us obtain a complete graph with 5 vertices
+and then show the graph.
+::
+
+ G = graphs.CompleteGraph(5)
+
+ G.show()
+
+
+Sage provides other functions for Number theory and
+Combinatorics. Let's have a glimpse of a few of them.
+
+
+::

+ prime_range(100, 200)

+checks if 1999 is a prime number or not.
+
+::
+
+ factor(2001)
+
+gives the factorized form of 2001.
+
+::
+ C = Permutations([1, 2, 3, 4])
+ C.list()
+
+gives the permutations of ``[1, 2, 3, 4]``
+
+::
+
+ C = Combinations([1, 2, 3, 4])
+ C.list()
+
+gives all the combinations of ``[1, 2, 3, 4]``
+
+That brings us to the end of this session showing various features
+available in Sage.
