The first Zagreb index M 1 is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index M 2 is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. The spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. The Zagreb indices and the spectral radius are all useful molecular structure descriptors. We provide upper bounds for the Zagreb indices M 1 and M 2 and the spectral radius of series‐parallel graphs, in terms of the number of vertices and the number of edges, and determine the graphs for which the bounds are attained. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
