&lt;br /&gt;
1. Students will learn simple relations between properties of an undirected graph and the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix (called the spectrum of the graph).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Students will know the spectra of several simple classes of graphs: complete graphs, paths, cycles, stars, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Students will be able to apply the theory of nonnegative matrices to spectral graph theory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Students will know the characterization of a bipartite graph in terms of its graph spectrum.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Students will learn how graph parameters such as the clique number and chromatic number can be estimated by means of the spectrum of the graph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Students will know the basic properties of the Laplacian matrix of a graph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Students will understand the proof of the matrix tree theorem, know two forms of the theorem, and how to apply it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
