Christopher David Godsil is a professor and the former Chair at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization in the faculty of mathematics at the University of Waterloo.He wrote the popular textbook on algebraic graph theory, entitled Algebraic Graph Theory, with Gordon Royle, [1] His earlier textbook on algebraic combinatorics discussed distance-regular graphs and association schemes.
Gordon F. Royle is a professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of Western Australia. [1]Royle is the co-author (with Chris Godsil) of the book Algebraic Graph Theory (Springer Verlag, 2001, ISBN 0-387-95220-9).
Algebraic graph theory is a branch of mathematics in which algebraic methods are applied to problems about graphs. This is in contrast to geometric , combinatoric , or algorithmic approaches. There are three main branches of algebraic graph theory, involving the use of linear algebra , the use of group theory , and the study of graph invariants .
The Fano matroid, derived from the Fano plane.Matroids are one of many kinds of objects studied in algebraic combinatorics. Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algebra.

The chromatic symmetric function is a symmetric function invariant of graphs studied in algebraic graph theory, a branch of mathematics. It is the weight generating function for proper graph colorings, and was originally introduced by Richard Stanley as a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph. [1]
The smallest Paley graph, with q = 5, is the 5-cycle (above). Self-complementary arc-transitive graphs are strongly regular. A strongly regular graph is called primitive if both the graph and its complement are connected. All the above graphs are primitive, as otherwise μ = 0 or λ = k.
The subject became an object of algebraic interest with the publication of (Bose & Mesner 1959) and the introduction of the Bose–Mesner algebra. The most important contribution to the theory was the thesis of P. Delsarte (Delsarte 1973) who recognized and fully used the connections with coding theory and design theory. [10]
