Graph Theory and Linear Algebra [pdf]
Perhaps I was wrong to expect mention of explicit discsussion of spectral graph theory? Anyway, always interesting topics to me.<p>On a related note: Gilbert Strang (MIT) has a relatively new class in the area of Linear Algebra (of course!) and learning: from data: "Matrix Methods in Data Analysis, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning"
