Graphs and their drawings

Where graph theory and geometry meet, beauty and challenge arise

Hi there! This post is a collaboration with Alejandro, taken directly from our upcoming book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Graphs. This project grew out of our series in graph theory here, aiming to focus on the algorithmic aspects as well. We'll even implement our custom graph library from scratch.

The book is already available in early access, with instant updates to the content as we write it.

Alejandro is one of my favorite writers and one of my original inspirations for starting to talk about mathematics online. We complement each other in knowledge and style: He is a master of computer science and algorithms, and I make the necessary theoretical background as clear as possible.

If you would like to see what the book is like, check out our introductory series on graph theory:

1. Episode 00: What do your brain, your friends, and the city you live in have in common

2. Episode 01: Running into the woods: trees, forests, and spanning subgraphs

3. Episode 02: An introduction to matchings

4. Episode 03: Eul…
