I am a fairly experienced Software Engineer with a computer science degree. During the graduation course, I did study Graph theory, but only as a part of Data Structure/Algorithms, and also that was ~10 years ago.
I would like to explore it further and in formal detail. I am assuming it must be a part of curriculum for Mathematics/Applied Mathematics? What are the recommended resources (preferably Textbooks)?
basics / inexpensive but dated:
* Graph Theory And Its Applications by Jonathan Gross and Jay Yellen
* Introduction to Graph Theory by Richard J. Trudeau
comprehensive/expensive:
* Graph Theory And Its Applications by Jonathan Gross and Jay Yellen
* graph theory with computer systems emphasis: Applied Combinatorics by Alan Tucker
misc other sources:
* graph theory: https://diestel-graph-theory.com/
* Harris' Combinatorics and Graph Theory
* Graph Theory by Douglas B West
* combinatorial Optimization by Papadimitriou and Steiglitz
