Overview
This course provides a complete introduction to Graph Theory algorithms in computer science.
Topics covered in these videos include:
- How to store and represent graphs on a computer
- Common graph theory problems seen in the wild
- Famous graph traversal algorithms (DFS & BFS)
- Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm (both the lazy and eager version)
- What a topological sort is, how to find one, and places it's used
- Learning about detecting negative cycles and finding shortest paths with the Bellman-Ford and Floyd-Warshall algorithms
- Discovering bridges and articulation points in graphs
- Understanding and detecting strongly connected components with Tarjan's algorithm, and finally solving the traveling salesman problem with dynamic programming.

- It was awesome. I gained confidence after going through concepts on Graphs theory. Difficult concepts were explained in very lucid way ~ A Natarajan
- Everything was covered exceptionally well and I found this course incredibly useful ~ Pranchal N
- This was amazing, and motivating. Your course helped me to get back into learning algorithms that I had always considered too difficult to understand ~ Manojkumar M
- Great course that explains the theory with visual examples of the different algorithms. Also, examples of coding each of the different algorithms and usages ~ J Agudelo
- Great teacher, has the ability to explain complex graph theory really well. William, I'm looking forward to Dynamic Programming series. You should definitely do more of these! ~ Karthik R
- Great course, William did a great job collecting many Graph Algorithms and explaining them by visual examples, if you're not comfortable learning code from screen this can be hard for you, otherwise you won't find a better explanation of Graph theory online ~ I Halouane
- I took this course to learn about Graph theory. But I have a feeling now that i can master this. Everything explained here in so intuitive way that those who hate it will fall in love with Graph theory ~ M Irshad
