Abstract
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.
