Description for Network Science
hardcover. Illustrated throughout in full colour, this pioneering text is the only book you need for an introduction into network science. Num Pages: 498 pages, 371 colour illus. 12 tables 30 exercises. BIC Classification: UMB; UTF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 246 x 189. .
Networks are everywhere, from the internet, to social networks, and the genetic networks that determine our biological existence. Illustrated throughout in full colour, this pioneering textbook, spanning a wide range of topics from physics to computer science, engineering, economics and the social sciences, introduces network science to an interdisciplinary audience. From the origins of the six degrees of separation to explaining why networks are robust to random failures, the author explores how viruses like Ebola and H1N1 spread, and why it is that our friends have more friends than we do. Using numerous real-world examples, this innovatively designed text includes ... Read more

Reviews for Network Science
'Network Science introduces the reader to basic graph-theory notions, elements of data analysis, statistics, and some of the computational and modeling methods that allow us to interrogate network data sets. Throughout, the book illustrates those ideas with concrete and intuitive examples that also help achieve its main purpose, which is to instill network-based thinking in the reader. The writing is ...
