Graphs & Digraphs (圖形與有向圖)

《圖論與有向圖》巧妙運用學生友善的解釋、清晰的證明、豐富的例子和大量的練習，以提供對圖論的概念、定理、歷史和應用的基本理解。

Gary Chartrand is professor emeritus at Western Michigan University. He was awarded all three of his university degrees in mathematics from Michigan State University. His main interest in mathematics has always been graph theory.

He has authored or co-authored over 300 research articles in graph theory. He served as the first managing editor of the Journal of Graph Theory (for seven years) and was a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Graph Theory and Discrete Mathematics. He served as a vice president of the Institute of Combinatorics and Its Applications. He directed the dissertations of 22 doctoral students at Western Michigan University.

He is the recipient of the University Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award and the Alumni Association Teaching Award from Western Michigan University and the Distinguished Faculty Award from the State of Michigan. He also received an award as managing editor of the best new journal (Journal of Graph Theory) by the Association of American Publishers in the scientific, medical, and technical category.

Heather Jordon earned her PhD in mathematics from Western Michigan University in 1996 under the direction of Gary Chartrand. She is currently an Associate Editor for Mathematical Reviews, produced by the American Mathematical Society.

Vincent Vatter earned his PhD in mathematics from Rutgers University in 2006, studying under Doron Zeilberger. Prior to that, he received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Michigan State University in 2001. Currently, he is a professor of mathematics at the University of Florida, where he resides with his two daughters, Madison and Vienna. He has authored or co-authored over 60 research articles in enumerative combinatorics, graph theory, order theory, and theoretical computer science, and has directed the dissertations of five doctoral students.

Ping Zhang earned her PhD in mathematics from Michigan State University. After spending a year at the University of Texas at El Paso, she joined Western Michigan University, where she currently serves as a professor. In 2017, she was named a Distinguished University Faculty Scholar. Her primary research interests are in algebraic combinatorics and graph theory.

Dr. Zhang has co-authored six textbooks, notably Graphs & Digraphs and Chromatic Graph Theory, and is a co-editor of The Handbook of Graph Theory, Second Edition, all published by CRC Press. She has also authored or co-authored over 340 research articles and given more than 80 talks at various universities and conferences. At Western Michigan University, she has directed the dissertations of 26 doctoral students.
