Often we would like to travel from one place to another. If we are by car, then TomTom will help us. If we send a mail, then routers will help us. Algorithms in Graph theory will do the work.

In this course we will look at concepts of Graph Theory to understand the algorithms, so we can apply them in IT.
• Know and understand the concepts of Graph Theory.
• Know and understand the Dijkstra, Posa, Bellman-Ford, and Balanced Graph algorithms.
• Implement these algorithms in IT.

An Introduction to Graph Theory and Complex Networks, by Maarten van Steen 2010

Opetusmenetelmät

In each sessions theoretical concepts will be introduced. These concepts will be applied in exercises. The algorithms will be implemented in a program.
