The goal in this problem is to visit all the given places as quickly as possible. How to find an optimal solution to this problem quickly? We still don\u2019t have provably efficient algorithms for this difficult computational problem and this is the essence of the P versus NP problem, the most important open question in Computer Science. Still, we\u2019ll implement several solutions for real world instances of the travelling salesman problem. While designing these solutions, we will rely heavily on the material learned in the courses of the specialization: proof techniques, combinatorics, probability, graph theory. We\u2019ll see several examples of using discrete mathematics ideas to get more and more efficient solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have technical problems?
