Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

A student who successfully completes the course will be able to: compute combinatorial quantities related to graphs, define and use centrality measures to rank nodes in a graph, know basic spectral properties of adjacency matrices, apply matrix theoretical tools to clustering problems for a network.
