Title: Groups theory+graph theory=FUN!!!

Abstract:
Algebraic
graph
theory
is
the
mingling
of
graph
theory
with
algebra.
One
way
that
this
happens
is
through
the
study
of
groups
acting
on
graphs.
An
automorphism
of
a
graph
is
a
permutation
of
the
vertices
such
that
edges
are
mapped
to
edges
and
the
set
of
all
such
permutations
forms
a
group
known
as
the
automorphism
of
the
graph.
In
this
learning
seminar,
we
will
look
at
automorphism
groups
of
graph
and
the
representing
groups
using
graphs.
No
previous
knowledge
of
group
actions
will
be
assumed.
