Topological Sort Algorithm | The AI That Knows Your Major

Article
Code

Overview: Delve into the realm of topological sorting algorithms and witness how they streamline the course planning process, applicable not just to academia but also to real-world scenarios like network routing and supply chain management.

Why It Matters: For tech enthusiasts, curious minds, and learners alike, this article offers a creative application of tech concepts and provides insights into optimizing academic progression.

The Challenge: University course catalogs can be overwhelming, but fear not! here is a solution to decode the maze of prerequisites and dependencies.

The Solution: Imagine visualizing the entire academic universe, with each course as a node and prerequisites as edges. Using Python, NetworkX, and Neo4j, I've constructed a seamless pathway through the academic labyrinth.

The Execution: Dive into the technical details of data loading, graph creation, Neo4j interaction, topological sorting, and visualization using PyVis.

Key Achievements: Discover how we've identified foundational courses, revealed course dependencies, determined optimal sequences, and created visual representations to simplify course planning.

Closing Thoughts: As we conclude our journey through college class sorting, remember that technology is a powerful ally. Let's leverage it to make our lives easier and our academic journeys smoother.
