This rigorous introduction to network science presents random graphs as models for real-world networks. Such networks have distinctive empirical properties and a wealth of new models have emerged to capture them. Classroom tested for over ten years, this text places recent advances in a unified framework to enable systematic study. Designed for a master's-level course, where students may only have a basic background in probability, the text covers such important preliminaries as convergence of random variables, probabilistic bounds, coupling, martingales, and branching processes. Building on this base - and motivated by many examples of real-world networks, including the Internet, collaboration ... Read more

Reviews for Random Graphs and Complex Networks
'… a modern and deep, yet accessible, introduction to the models that make up [the] basis for the theoretical study of random graphs and complex networks. The book strikes a balance between providing broad perspective and analytic rigor that is a pleasure for the reader.' Adam Wierman, California Institute of Technology 'This text builds a bridge between the mathematical world ... Read more
