The Graph Theory - An Introduction in Python

The document discusses graph theory and its implementation in Python using the NetworkX library. It introduces basic graph concepts like nodes, edges, and adjacency lists. Examples show how to create a graph from pairwise relationships, find the nodes and edges of a graph, and visualize the graph. It then demonstrates how to build a flight network graph from data and calculate the degree centrality of airports. Finally, it shows how to find all paths and the shortest path between nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm.
