OK, I´m so not a mathematician. And my knowledge of graph theory is pretty much limited to a couple of exercises on algorithms to find Euler cycles on my computer science degree.
Anyone got any pointers to sites (or textbooks) for amateurs hoping to get a good overview of this field?
cheers

Re: best websites for a beginner
Thu, February 10, 2005 - 8:29 AMI'm reading the expensive but comprehensive "Graphs, Networks, and Algorithms" by Jungnickel. I'm a CS guy myself, and I find many of the topics to cover a lot of the mathematical ground I was missing, and other topics like complexity to be quite familiar.

Hey Phil,
Try this one out. Chris Caldwell has another tutorial out there but you have to register to use it. To my consternation, I am finding that graph theory is rather broad and extremely important for my algorithm studies. Coming from a algebraic-geometric perspective, graph theory along with combinatorics was kind of looked down on - it was like in the "ghettoes of math". Recently, that is all changed.

Look at his other tutorials: neural networking, data mining, etc.
