Graphs and Zero-Divisors
Axtell, M.; Stickles, J.
College Mathematics Journal, v41 n5 p396-399 Nov 2010
The last ten years have seen an explosion of research in the zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings--by professional mathematicians "and" undergraduates. The objective is to find algebraic information within the geometry of these graphs. This topic is approachable by anyone with one or two semesters of abstract algebra. This article gives the basic definitions and provides a list of possible projects that an interested undergraduate can investigate.
