There's a wrong statement at the bottom of pg 8
the formula E = V + 1 relating the number of edges E and the number of vertices V in a tree

It should read E=V-1.

There is a proof on page 47 of Balakrishnan's Graph Theory.

The book is available for free download on the internet.

I have extracted pages 46 and 47 for you and have attached it.

The proof is problem 2.52, but read 2.50 and 2.51 first.

the draft says E = V + 1 when it should be E = V - 1

Ah yes. You are right. Ta.

I think there are other errors as well, such as the dot point near the top of page 2 which describes graph theory:

• Graph theory - the algebraic equation of a curve and parametric equations to describe a curve

What they are describing is not graph theory.

The draft curricula will be redrafted later this year based on the current consultation round and a second consultation will take place over Feb-Apr next year with a final version mid next year.
