About the Authors
  • Examining important results and analytical techniques, this graduate-level textbook is a step-by-step presentation of the structure and function of complex networks. Using a range of examples, from the stability of the internet to efficient methods of immunizing populations, and from epidemic spreading to how one might efficiently search for individuals, this textbook explains the theoretical methods that can be used, and the experimental and analytical results obtained in the study and research of complex networks. Giving detailed derivations of many results in complex networks theory, this is an ideal text to be used by graduate students entering the field. End-of-chapter review questions help students monitor their own understanding of the materials presented.

    • Covers a range of subjects, from the stability of the internet to efficient methods of immunizing populations, to give the reader a broad presentation of the topic
    • Focuses on analytical techniques to give readers the basic tools to use in their own research
    • Each chapter ends with review questions so that students can monitor their understanding of the material presented
