LetGbe a graph possessingnvertices andmedges. The energy ofG, denoted byE = E(G), is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues ofG. The connection betweenEand the total electron energy of a class of organic molecules is briefly outlined. Some (known) fundamental mathematical results on E are presented: the relation betweenE(G)and the characteristic polynomial ofG, lower and upper bounds forE, especially those depending onnandm, graphs extremal with respect toE,n-vertex graphs for whichE(G)>E(Kn). The characterization of then-vertex graph(s) with maximal value ofEis an open problem.
