contents We study the approximation of eigenvalues for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on closed Riemannian manifolds in the class $\mathcal{M}$, characterized by bounded Ricci curvature, a lower bound on the injectivity radius, and an upper bound on the diameter. We use an $(ε,ρ)$-approximation of the manifold by a weighted graph, as introduced by Burago et al. By adapting their methods, we prove that as the parameters $ε, ρ$ and the ratio $\fracερ$ approach zero, the $k$-th eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian converges uniformly to the $k$-th eigenvalue of the manifold's Laplacian for each $k$.
