Graph Theory: 50. Maximum vs Maximal

Here we describe the difference between two similar sounding words in mathematics: maximum and maximal. We use concepts in graph theory to highlight the difference. In particular, we define an independent set in a graph and a component in a graph and look at some examples. -- Bits of Graph Theory by Dr. Sarada Herke.
