Course Overview
Algorithms on graphs is a much-used concept in navigation services and has thus found supreme applicability in the current scenario. Whether it be road networks, social networks or computer networks, this domain offers a lot of scope for learning, especially for engineers. To think of the fastest time to commute, people often resort to a connected set of computers which are strewn through an efficient algorithm or a dense network. This also helps in detecting communities and leaders on Facebook.
Algorithms on Graphs course is one another valuable offering by Coursera which delves deep into the insights of graphs and its varied properties. Candidates will learn traversing graphs and orderly traversing of the same to perform meaningful tasks. Discussion on shortest paths algorithms from basic level used to open doors till faster ones used in Google Maps will be conducted. Pursuing this course will also help candidates in pursuing Fast Shortest Routes industrial capstone projects if they wish to.
This course concludes with minimum spanning trees utilised in road planning and telephone and computer networks.
