The study of network theory is a highly interdisciplinary field,
which has emerged as a major topic of interest in various
disciplines ranging from physics and mathematics, to biology and
sociology. This book promotes the diverse nature of the study of
complex networks by balancing the needs of students from very
different backgrounds. It references the most commonly used
concepts in network theory, provides examples of their applications
in solving practical problems, and clear indications on how to
analyse their results. In the first part of the book, students and
researchers will discover the quantitative and analytical tools
necessary to work with complex networks, including the most basic
concepts in network and graph theory, linear and matrix algebra, as
well as the physical concepts most frequently used for studying
networks. They will also find instruction on some key skills such
as how to proof analytic results and how to manipulate empirical
network data. The bulk of the text is focused on instructing
readers on the most useful tools for modern practitioners of
network theory. These include degree distributions, random
networks, network fragments, centrality measures, clusters and
communities, communicability, and local and global properties of
networks. The combination of theory, example and method that are
presented in this text, should ready the student to conduct their
own analysis of networks with confidence and allow teachers to
select appropriate examples and problems to teach this subject in
the classroom.
