An overview of graph theory definitions and polynomial invariants for graphs prepares the reader for the subsequent dive into the applications of graph theory. To pique the reader?s interest in areas of possible exploration, recent results in mathematics appear throughout the book, accompanied with examples of related graphs, how they arise, and what their valuable uses are. The consequences of graph theory covered by the authors are complicated and far-reaching, so topics are always exhibited in a user-friendly manner with copious graphs, exercises, and Sage code for the computation of equations. Samples of the book?s source code can be found at github.com/springer-math/adventures-in-graph-theory. The text is geared towards advanced undergraduate and graduate students and is particularly useful for those trying to decide what type of problem to tackle for their dissertation. This book can also serve as a reference for anyone interested in exploring how they can apply graph theory to other parts of mathematics. 410 0$aApplied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis,$x2296-5009 606 $aGraph theory 606 $aFourier analysis 606 $aGraph Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29020 606 $aFourier Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12058 615 0$aGraph theory. 615 0$aFourier analysis. 615 14$aGraph Theory. 615 24$aFourier Analysis. 676 $a511.5 700 $aJoyner$b W.
