MAT 490 Introduction to Research on Magic Graphs
The purpose of this course is to foster research and collaboration amongst undergraduate students. This course will focus on open mathematics problems surrounding magic graphs. The idea of magic graphs came from magic squares, perhaps one of the most popular mathematical recreations. Applicability to the problem of decomposing graphs into trees has recently revitalized interest in magic labelings. In this course, students will engage in meaningful, scholarly dialogue and collaboration about research in this area of graph theory. This is the first course in a two-course sequence.
