Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

"A variety of different social, natural and technological systems can be described by the same mathematical framework. This holds from the Internet to food webs and to boards of company directors. In all these situations a graph of the elements of the system and their interconnections displays a universal feature. There are only few elements with many connections, and many elements with few connections. This book presents the experimental evidence of these ""Scale-free networks"" and provides students and researchers with a corpus of theoretical results and algorithms to analyse and understand these features. The content of this book and the exposition makes it a clear textbook for beginners, and a reference book for the experts."

Reviews for Scale-Free Networks: Complex Webs in Nature and Technology

`The book is written in an easy style and should be readable by undergraduates in physics, theoretical physics, mathematics, and computer science and engineering.' Peter Richmond, Trinity College, Dublin `This is a very important and timely book... I would recommend this book to anyone hoping to learn the key concepts of complex networks science. ' Mark Buchanan, Science Writer, Cambridge, UK
