Overview

This book brings together for the first time the most important breakthroughs in networks analysis from mathematics, physics, computer and information sciences, biology, and the social sciences, presenting them in a coherent fashion, and highlighting the strong interconnections between work in different areas. Subjects covered include the measurement and structure of networks in many branches of science, methods for analyzing network data, including methods developed in physics, statistics, and sociology, the fundamentals of graph theory, computer algorithms, and spectral methods, mathematical models of networks, including random graph models and generative models, and theories of dynamical processes taking place on networks.

Overall, this is an excellent textbook for the growing field of networks. It is cleverly written and suitable as both an introduction for undergraduate students (particularly Parts 1 to 3) and as a roadmap for graduate students. [] Being highly self-contained, computer scientists and professionals from other fields can also use the book--in fact, the author himself is a physicist. In short, this book is a delight for the inquisitive mind. Computing Reviews
