 This section talks about another problem-Clustering-and how to solve it with greedy algorithm. Clustering (of maximum spacing) can be precisely described as partitioning a collection of objects U such that the maximum possible spacing s achieved (That is, the minimum distance between any pair of points lying in different clusters is minimized).
-The alogrithm is exactly the Kruskal's algorithm except that we stop it just before adding the last k-1th edge.
+The algorithm is exactly the Kruskal's algorithm except that we stop it just before adding the last k-1th edge. Basically, it is constructing the minimum spanning tree without the k-1 most weighted edges.
