Graph Theory: Math 318
Graphs and directed graphs. Connectivity, planarity, labelings, colorings.
Applications including: tournaments, matchings, optimization, traffic capacities.
This class will be offered via the web (section 400) as well as in the classroom
(section 001).
I will use a system that caputures the lectures in a format that can
be streamed, at a time that works for you, over a 28K modem. These files will
be available to all students to view for the remainder of the semester.
Prerequisite: My approval (over the phone, e-mail, or at our first class meeting).
Typically, students take this after Calculus, but
we don't use calculus. Enthusiastic Freshman (and even some
high school students) should consider this class.
Preparation: Mostly, this will prepare you for a variety of topics
in engineering and computer science.
Grade will be based on midterm, homework, and final exam. Midterm and final are not on the web and must be taken in person (but not necessarily on main campus).
Text (required): "Graphs : An Introductory Approach,"

If you are not currently working on a degree, the simplest and fastest way
to get enrolled at UNM is in non-degree status. In certain circumstances, credits
earned in non-degree status will transfer to a degree program. Please
