Rocky Mountain Summer School 2013: Algebraic Graph Theory

《代数图论》课程将于2013年6月17日至28日在怀俄明大学举行。这个暑期班是落基山数学联盟(RMMC)赞助的年度项目的一部分。这个项目的目的是向研究生和研究人员介绍代数图论及其应用的主题，促进合作，并在年轻研究人员之间建立联系。每天的讲座将为参与者提供这一主题的背景知识，下午的专题演讲和问题讨论将加强讲座内容，并让参与者有机会共同解决开放问题。使用代数技术来解决图论问题一直是一种非常卓有成效的方法，并继续有从纯数学到物理、计算机科学、生物学和统计学的应用。所涵盖的主题包括谱图理论及其在量子计算中的应用，结合方案及其在设计和编码理论中的应用，以及图多项式在Potts模型和DNA自组装中的应用。其目标是培养一个多元化的学生和研究人员群体。鼓励和支持数学水平偏低的群体的成员参与。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问：http://www.uwyo.edu/jwilliford/rmmc2013/rmmc_2013.html

The program "Algebraic Graph Theory" will run from June 17-28, 2013, at the University of Wyoming. This summer school is part of an annual program sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium (RMMC). The purpose of this program is to introduce graduate students and researchers to topics in algebraic graph theory and their applications, foster collaboration, and build ties between young researchers. Daily lectures will provide the participants with background in the subject, and contributed talks and problem sessions in the afternoon will reinforce the lectures and give the participants a chance to work together on open problems. The use of algebraic techniques to solve graph theory problems has been a very fruitful approach, and continues to have applications beyond pure mathematics to physics, computer science, biology and statistics. The topics covered include spectral graph theory with applications to quantum computing, association schemes with applications to design and coding theory, and graph polynomials with applications to the Potts model and DNA self-assembly. The aim is for a diverse body of student and researchers. Participation of members of groups underrepresented in mathematics is encouraged and supported.More information about the program can be found at: http://www.uwyo.edu/jwilliford/rmmc2013/rmmc_2013.html
