@mifrandir If you would be fine with that, I would take over this PR and rebase it to the current branch and check for new spots where a change might be necessary :) @starovoid I am also tagging you to make sure, you are not already taking care of this? |
I plan to dive into this topic soon. We have two competing PRs (this and #357), and I plan to prefer the notation that @indietyp used in his branches |

This is an alternative suggestion to #357 and trying to fix the issue #356.
What changes have been made?
|V|and|E|now include "where V is the set of nodes and E is the set of edges".Why do I think this is better than #357?
The letter V is very widely used to refer to the set of nodes/vertices, regardless of which word you prefer. I believe it is more important to stick to this convention to make the documentation more understandable to experienced readers as N is more commonly used to refer to a natural number.
This mismatch between symbols and words happens all the time and is nothing to worry about. (see electric current (I) in physics, for example)
I understand however that readers might be confused as to the meaning of V in particular. For this reason, I have included sufficient explanations within the documentation.
Fixes: #356
