Concept
How are binary search trees, binary trees, rooted trees, trees, connected graphs, and graphs related?
Stephen Davies, Ph.D. Version 2.2.2 Through Discrete Mathematics A Cool Brisk Walk / Chapter 1
"Whew, that was a lot of information about structures. Before we continue our walk in the next chapter with a completely different topic, I’ll leave you with this summary thought. Let BST be the set of Binary Search Trees, and BT be the set of Binary Trees. Let RT be the set of rooted trees, and T be the set of trees (free or rooted). Finally, let CG be the set of connected graphs, and G the set of all graphs. Then we have: BST ⊂ BT ⊂ RT ⊂ T ⊂ CG ⊂ G. It’s a beautiful thing."
