A network consists of a collection of objects together with some connections between them. As an example, we might think of a social network, where the objects are people, and we consider two people to be connected if they know one another. The mathematical term for a network is graph. In this talk, I will give a short introduction to graph theory leading on to a proof of the famous Sperner's lemma on colourings of triangles.
