Reseña del editor

Here is a solid introduction to graph theory, covering Dirac's theorem on k-connected graphs, Harary-Nashwilliam's theorem on the hamiltonicity of line graphs, Toida-McKee's characterization of Eulerian graphs, Fournier's proof of Kuratowski's theorem on planar graphs, and more. The book does not presuppose deep knowledge of any branch of mathematics, but requires only the basics of mathematics.
