Title: Fun Topics in Algebraic Graph Theory
Abstract: Algebraic Graph Theory as a discipline involves --yes--graphs and algebra, which we can specify to linear algebra. We will browse through a selection of interesting topics related to matrices and graphs, including but not limited to: the adjacency, incidence, and Laplacian matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, spectral decomposition, and interlacing. These topics are borrowed from a book titled Algebraic Graph Theory by Dr. Chris Godsil and Dr. Gordon Royle.
