Algorithms on Graphs Coursera

Overview

If you have ever used a navigation service to find optimal route and estimate time to destination, you've used algorithms on graphs. Graphs arise in various real-world situations as there are road networks, computer networks and, most recently, social networks! 

If you're looking for the fastest time to get to work, cheapest way to connect a set of computers into a network or efficient algorithm to automatically find communities and opinion leaders in Facebook, you're going to work with graphs and algorithms on graphs.

Key Facts

During this Algorithms on Graphs course offered by Coursera in partnership with UC San Diego, you will learnuseful things while traversing the graph in some order. You will discuss about shortest paths algorithms — from the basic ones to those which open door for 1000000 times faster algorithms used in Google Maps and other navigational services. 

You will use these algorithms if you choose to work on our Fast Shortest Routes industrial capstone project. You will finish with minimum spanning trees which are used to plan road, telephone and computer networks and also find applications in clustering and approximate algorithms.
