This was...
This is an introduction to graph theory from the basics. It was nice to have a walk-through what is a graph with simple basic rules, and exercises at the end of each section. My brother advised I read this book with a notebook in hand, and so I did. He was right during things graphically made things much easier to understand. I didn't do all of the exercises but I did do some.
I already knew...
I knew that graphs were made of nodes and edges and can be in two or three dimensional space however this is not a feature of recording graphs. Computer computers often will not have any dimensional representation of graphs besides a list of notes and edges. This was not a very long book, but it did take some time to get through it.
What was new...
The book was very revealing and gave me some great solutions to some programming problems when I worked through the Python track on the exorcism website. I am beginning to see how graph theory provides a solution to a number of problems, both in the physical world and with data handling. I have listened to some podcasts about graph databases, and knowledge graphs.
I particularly liked...
I particularly liked the exercise exercises that you could do to form and build your understanding.
