Graph Algorithmscs
Algorithms operating on graphs — traversal, shortest path, connected components, clustering coefficient, PageRank, topological sort.
Knowledge graphs and prerequisite DAGs are graphs; their construction, layout, and traversal all rely on graph algorithms.
Where it appears
- Knowledge Compiler graph construction + statistics passes
- SKCE curriculum optimization (topological learning paths)

Foundations
Historical evolution
PageRank (1998) for importance; connected-components clustering for grouping; Kahn's algorithm (1962) for topological ordering.
Implementation details
SKCE uses Kahn's algorithm for prerequisite ordering and connected-components-style traversal for learning paths; upstream uses PageRank + clustering coefficient.
