Algebraic Graph Theory Workshop

This document describes a workshop which is ancillary to, but not officially part of, the 2009 Spring Eastern Section Meeting of the American Mathematical Society. The official web page for the conference is here. My informal page describing our special session is here.

Workshop Details

This is an informal one-day workshop on algebraic graph theory and related topics. The meeting will be held in the Mid-Century Room of the Campus Center at WPI. There is no admission fee and all are welcome to attend, but seating may be limited. So please notify Bill Martin if you plan to attend the workshop.
