Timing: Tuesday, Friday:  10:20 – 11:40 am

Location:  online via zoom (email me if you need a link)

Office hours: by appointment

Prerequisites: Basic combinatorics, basic linear algebra, mathematical maturity

 

Description: This course will serve as a graduate course in graph theory. For a large part of the course we will follow the text by Bela Bollobas on Modern Graph Theory. Some of the topics we will cover include: Matchings, cuts, flows, connectivity, planar graphs, graph colorings, random graphs, extremal graph theory, Ramsey theory, linear algebra methods, and expander graphs

Problem sets will be posted every 2-3 weeks.
