Course Overview

Graph algorithms are the core of many real-world applications of computer science, such as automotive navigation or routing in computer networks. They’re also a common subject in coding interviews at top-tier tech companies. In this course, we’ll learn about the basic concepts of graph theory and how to represent graphs as data structures in code. We’ll study essential graph algorithms such as depth-first search or Dijkstra's algorithm to traverse graphs and find shortest paths. Finally, we’ll learn to s...Show More
