Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett Intro Way back when I was doing my undergrad degree, I was lucky enough that most of it made sense, usually straight away. A lot of math is just learning what the weird notation means. It’s like learning a new language – you need a bunch of vocabulary.
Not everything was easy though, and one result that sent me into a spin was Green’s Theorem.

Leveraging special graph shapes in LightGraphs

In a previous post, we pushed the boundaries of the LightGraphs.jl abstraction to see how conforming the algorithms are to the declared interface, noticing some implied assumptions that were not stated. This has led to the development of VertexSafeGraphs.jl and soon to some work on LightGraphs.jl itself.
Another way to push the abstraction came out of the JuliaNantes workshop: leveraging some special structure of graphs to optimize some specific operations.
