CSOR E4010 Graph Theory: A Combinatorial View. 3 points.
Lect: 3.Not offered during 2020-21 academic year.
Prerequisites: Linear Algebra, or instructor's permission.
Graph Theory is an important part of the theoretical basis of operations research. A good understanding of the basic fundamentals of graph theory is necessary in order to apply the theory successfully in the future. This is an introductory course in graph theory with emphasis on its combinatorial aspects. It covers basic definitions, and some fundamental concepts in graph theory and its applications. Topics include trees and forests graph coloring, connectivity, matching theory and others. This course will provide a solid foundation for students in the IEOR department, on which further courses may build.
