BFS and Unweighted Shortest Paths
This generated surface maps a learner-facing curriculum unit to its canonical source routes.

Learning objectives
- Explain BFS and Unweighted Shortest Paths in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
- Apply BFS and Unweighted Shortest Paths to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
- Use
algorithms-sedgewick,competitive-programming,grokking-algorithms,introduction-to-algorithms-clrs,the-algorithm-design-manualas a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.
Prerequisites
- The earlier concept pages and practice tasks in the current module.

Source-of-truth note
This teaching unit is learner-facing guidance assembled from multiple canonical book routes. Use the listed source books as the primary conceptual spine for BFS and Unweighted Shortest Paths, and treat outside material as supporting enrichment only.
