Book, Foundations of Graph Theory for Computing 3/18[LS]

Graph Theory (TG) is a recent branch in the history of Mathematics, as its origins date back to the 18th century. Widely used in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, TG has proven to be an important tool for modeling a variety of real situations in different areas of knowledge, such as Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Linguistics, Operational Research and Artificial Intelligence .In Fundamentals of Graph Theory for Computing, professors Maria do Carmo Nicoletti and Estevam R. Hruschka Jr. present rich material compiled and refined over years of experience in the Department of Computing at the Federal University of São Carlos (DC-UFSCar ). Originally published by the university publisher, EdUFSCar, the work reaches its third edition, revised and expanded. The content of this book can be used as a basic text for introductory GT courses, as material that promotes the review of graph-based modeling at various problems, as a reference text for various algorithms supported by graph-based modeling and, particularly, as a guide in preparing the reader for postgraduate courses involving more advanced and complex topics associated with the topic.
