Project Description: Determine the most efficient way for a traveling salesman to visit the capital cities of all 48 continental United States, visit each city once (and only once) and minimize the distance you travel. However, as you add more cities the number of possible paths goes through the roof. It should come as no surprise that the TSP is classified as an NP-Hard problem, with the number of Hamiltonian paths being equal to n!/2 where n is equal to the number of cities in the problem.
