Özet: In this paper, a mobile learning application developed to support teaching graph algorithms as part of the graph theory topics in discrete mathematics courses at universities is presented. The mobile application includes components that enable students to draw graphs, edit previously formed graphs and apply basic graph theory algorithms on these graphs. In this context, the users can apply DFS (Depth First Search), BFS (Breadth First Search), Dijkstra’s Shortest Path, Euler Path/Circuit, Hamilton Path/Circuit and Graph Coloring algorithms on the undirected/directed, unweighted/weighted graphs they have formed. Additionally, students can take quizzes to test their knowledge level. The mobile learning application has been tested by voluntary students as a part of the Discrete Mathematics course in Ege University, Department of Computer Engineering. The students stated that the mobile learning application is useful for lab works and suggested it to be used as a complementary tool in the following years. Besides, the positive effect of the usage of the proposed mobile learning application on the grades of the students in the test group has been proven statistically.
