## Network flow
- Define and use network flow terminology including _source_, _sink_, _outflow_, _inflow_ and _cut_
- Convert information presented in a table to a weighted and directed network diagram
- Calculate and analyse the flow capacity of a network including the use of the saturated edges method
- Solve small-scale network flow problems including the use of applying the maximum-flow minimum-cut theorem
- Examine the impact of increasing or reducing the flow capacity of an edge in a network diagram
- Explain why the flow capacity of a network is or is not sufficient to meet demand in a variety of contexts
