Abstract:

Graph theory has assumed an increasingly important position in twentieth-century mathematics, due in large part to the birth of the computer and the advent of fields such as operations research. This guide is intended to introduce the reader to elementary graph theory in a way which indicates the author's (hopefully contagious) enthusiasm and which gives the reader a good foundation in the basics, and to point the interested student in various research directions. The undergraduate student (and instructor) will be delighted to discover that research in graph theory is quite possible after familiarization with the basic concepts and technique, almost all of which are within the grasp of such a student.

This course guide was originally published by the Guilford College Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics as a volume in the Monographs on Undergraduate Mathematics series.
