Is it necessary to take a course in graph theory to learn data structures and algorithms, or can they be self-taught through linear algebra and discrete math?

Many graph algorithms (like BFS, DFS, and Dijkstra’s) require graph theory knowledge. Can self-learners master DSA without formal graph theory courses, using discrete math or coding exercises?
