A minimum spanning tree finds a spanning tree with a minimum weight. Weights can represent cost of construction, travel time, etc., so finding the least time or cost is of importance to us. In our second algorithm, we explore Kruskal's Algorithm, where we are not limited by choosing edges incident to those vertices already chosen in our MST. Just choose the least weight edge provided it doesn't form a cycle. Note, the focus of this video is on carrying out Kruskal's Algorithm by hand and not on how to construct the program that will run the algorithm.
