A metric graph can be viewed, in many respects, as an analogue of an algebraic curve. For example, there is a notion of “Jacobian” for graphs. More classically, metric graphs can be viewed as electrical networks. I will discuss the interplay between these two points of view, as well as some recent applications to problems in algebraic geometry.
