Math 5490: Network Flows (Spring 2006)


Overview:  This course is about modeling, solving, and understanding network flow problems. Such problems arise naturally in many disciplines such as telecommunications, water distribution, transportation, bioinformatics, and integrated circuit design. They also can be used to solve many problems where the connection with networks is not so obvious. The study of network flows involves concepts from a variety of mathematical fields, including optimization, graph theory, complexity theory, and data structures.   (More details about the course are in the syllabus).
