Course Description:
This course will focus on linear algebra and its applications to graph theory. We begin by studying classical results relating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix and graph Laplacian matrix to properties of the underlying graph. We will also explore the connection between harmonic functions and applications to random walks on graphs, circuits, mechanical systems, and various special topics, time permitting. |
