I'm teaching an introductory graph theory course in the Fall, which I'm excited about because it gives me the chance to improve my understanding of graphs (my work is in topology). A highlight for me ...

Let $n\geq m\geq0$ be two integers. The below binomial identity is provable by other means: $$\sum_{j=0}^m(-1)^j\binom{n+1}j2^{m-j} =\sum_{j=0}^m(-1)^j\binom{n-m+j}j.$$ QUESTION. Can you provide a ...

It is a well-known and cute exercise in algebraic graph theory to show that $K_{10}$ cannot be written as the edge-disjoint union of three copies of the Petersen graph $P$. Indeed, the graph $G$ whose ...

I need to give a math talk to a group of undergraduates. I am asking for advice because this talk will take place at a department picnic and there will be no blackboard or projector. I would like to ...
