Graph theory and linear algebra are the same subject in disguise, mathematician argues

Math educator Tivadar Danka argues that graph theory and linear algebra are not separate branches of mathematics, but the exact same subject wearing different costumes. The adjacency matrix, for instance, turns structural questions about graphs into matrix algebra, with spectral graph theory as the classic meeting point — a lens that also sheds light on ideas like graph neural networks in ML.
