1. installation

you can install networkx using pip:

2. basic concepts of graph theory

- **graph**: a collection of nodes (vertices) and edges (connections between the nodes).
- **directed graph (digraph)**: a graph where edges have a direction.
- **undirected graph**: a graph where edges do not have a direction.
- **weighted graph**: a graph where edges have weights assigned to them.

3. creating graphs

let's start by creating a simple undirected graph.

4. graph operations

you can manipulate graphs by adding/removing nodes and edges, checking for connections, etc.

adding nodes and edges

removing nodes and edges

checking connectivity

5. graph visualization

networkx can easily visualize graphs using matplotlib. you can customize the appearance with different layouts.

6. graph algorithms

networkx includes various algorithms for analyzing graphs.

shortest path

degree of nodes

clustering coefficient

7. conclusion

this crash course provided an overview of basic graph theory concepts and how to use networkx in python. you can create, manipulate, visualize graphs, and perform various algorithms on them. networkx is highly versatile and can handle complex network analyses, making it a great choice for researchers, data scientists, and engineers.
