Algebraic Graph Theory (Fall 10, Graduate Course)

The course syllabus is below (where you find information about the textbook, the topics, and the grading scheme etc.). MatLab will be used to calculate eigenvalues of graphs. The page is updated monthly during the semester.

Syllabus


Homework 1

(1) Pages 73-74: Problems 2.5.1 - 2.5.5 Problems 2.5.9 - 10; (2) Page 108: Problems 3.3.3. Hand in your HW on time.

NOTE: Copy the papers that were distributed in class as early as possible, and then have a quick look at them before we meet in the fifth week. We will be talking about selection of the papers for your Final Project.
