Course Description

 In this course, basic graph theory in computer science is explained. The contents of the lectures are summarized as follows: (1) types of graphs (connected graph, planar graph, directed graph, network, etc.), (2) properties of graphs (connectivity, cyclicity, planarity, colorability, etc.), and (3) basic theorems in graph theory (Kuratowski's theorem, four color theorem, max-flow min-cut theorem, Menger's theorem, etc.).

Course Objectives

 The aim of this course is to understand the following items: (1) basic concepts of graphs, (2) types of graphs, (3) properties of graphs and (4) basic theorems in graph theory.

Grading Policy

 Students are evaluated by a term examination, some midterm examinations, and some quizzes.
