Алгебраическая теория графов from Coursera

Не секрет, что математика — универсальный язык для исследований. А графы в математике — универсальные высоко симметричные структуры, с помощью которых можно изучать множество объектов различной природы и их свойства. Вы сталкиваетесь с ними каждый день в повседневных ситуациях. Например, когда строите оптимальный маршрут до университета или работы. Ещё такие объекты встречаются в прикладных научных задачах из разных сфер: графы эффективно используются в теории межкоммуникационных сетей, помогают моделировать эволюционные мутационные процессы в биологии и не только. Структура графов необходима и при создании биокомпьютера или в квантовой химии — в общем, методы алгебраической теории графов универсальны. В нашем курсе вы узнаете о свойствах графов и о том, как их исследовать. Вы научитесь самостоятельно строить такие структуры, анализировать их и находить ответ на любой вопрос. Вы сможете применять инструменты алгебраической теории графов для оптимального решения задач в химии, биологии, биоинформатике, физике, социологии, теории кодирования, криптографии и многих других областях. Первые модули курса помогут вспомнить основы теории графов, теории групп и линейной алгебры, чтобы постепенно познакомить вас с современными математическими исследованиями. В последних модулях вы узнаете об актуальных новых вопросах, которые возникли благодаря алгебраической теории графов и открыты для исследований. Для кого этот курс: - для студентов математических специальностей; - для специалистов в сфере IT; - для студентов факультетов естественных наук: химиков, биологов, физиков, геологов, инженеров; - для всех, кому интересна математика и кто хочет развивать математическое мышление и логику Материалы курса разработаны группой исследователей Математического центра в Академгородке (соглашение с Министерством науки и высшего образования РФ номер 075-15-2019-1675)
