Introduction to Graph Theory (Classic Version) (Paperback)

Paperback. For undergraduate or graduate courses in Graph Theory This text offers a comprehensive and coherent introduction to the fundamental topics of graph theory. It includes basic algorithms and emphasises the understanding and writing of proofs about graphs. Thought-provoking examples and exercises develop a thorough understanding of the structure of graphs and the techniques used to analyse problems. The first seven chapters form the basic course, with advanced material in Chapter 8. This book fills a need for a thorough introduction to graph theory that features both the understanding and writing of proofs about graphs. Verification that algorithms work is emphasized more than their complexity. An effective use of examples, and huge number of interesting exercises, demonstrate the topics of trees and distance, matchings and factors, connectivity and paths, graph coloring, edges and cycles, and planar graphs. For those who need to learn to make coherent arguments in the fields of mathematics and computer science.
