Graph theory algorithms visualized

Description

Contents

This Graph theory algorithms will teach students the fundamental concepts and algorithms of graph theory with real life examples and eye-appealing visualizations. The course will cover topics such as graph representation, graph traversal, topological sort, shortest paths, minimum spanning trees, graph coloring… With a total of more than 20 covered algorithms.

Discussed algorithms will be implemented in detail by using a programming language to give a better understanding for students. Captions, practice problems, quizzes, slides, and source code will also be here to make the learning experience way better.

By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of graph algorithms and be able to apply their knowledge to solve problems in computer science, mathematics, and beyond.

This course is ideal for students who are looking to pursue careers in computer science, mathematics, or related fields, as well as for professionals who want to expand their knowledge of graph theory algorithms.
