The course will be delivered in a "flipped classroom" mode. Details:

Lectures:
Notes and videos will be available in advance. You will be told how much to study each week. We will meet only once a week (on Tuesday at 4pm) in order to free some of your time for this.

Lectures: Tuesday 4pm in G15-AG.

Resources: There are many good graph theory books available in the library (in the general section, just check the tables of content since a few of them are too specialized or too advanced).
There are two books available online through the library website:
Wallis, A beginner's guide to graph theory,
Harris, Hirst, Mossinghof, Combinatorics and graph theory.
Finaly another good book can be consulted freely online (google for the web page of the book):
Diestel, Graph theory.

We will not follow any particular book, but they can be interesting resources in the following sense:

They can provide different explanations or different points of view, that you might like better than what we will do in class;
They provide a source of extra examples and exercises.
