Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...
