Finding the minimum spanning tree is one of the fundamental algorithms and it is important in computer science and practical programming. We take a look at the theory and the practice. Before we get ...

Now we have to move on to implement Prim's algorithm proper. As well as just implementing the method, an animated display will be used to show the paths as they are being considered for inclusion. We ...

This printable worksheet is a good way to get your class to practise using Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms to find the minimum spanning tree for a network. The sheet saves you or your students having ...
