Networks 2nd Edition by Mark Newman (PDF)

Description

The study of networks, including computer networks, social networks, and biological networks, has attracted enormous interest in the last few years. The rise of the Internet and the wide availability of inexpensive computers have made it possible to gather and analyze network data on an unprecedented scale, and the development of new theoretical tools has allowed us to extract knowledge from networks of many different kinds. The study of networks is broadlyinterdisciplinary and central developments have occurred in many fields, including mathematics, physics, computer and information sciences, biology, and the social sciences. This book brings together the most important breakthroughs in each of these fields and presents them in a coherent fashion,highlighting the strong interconnections between work in different areas.Topics covered include the measurement of networks; methods for analyzing network data, including methods developed in physics, statistics, and sociology; fundamentals of graph theory; computer algorithms; mathematical models of networks, including random graph models and generative models; and theories of dynamical processes taking place on networks.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Excellent textbooks!

⭐Full disclosure, I have only recently purchased this book, and have not read most of the content. I do plan to do so as soon as I can!This book is a real master work. Nearly every commonly used graph analytic algorithm is carefully described. The discussion and mathematical notation are clear and concise. I can hardly imagine how much effort the author spent to create such a work.

⭐Great book, arrived clean and timely.

⭐I had heard of the first edition, but I never bought it. I have had the opportunity to have the second edition and I want to share that it is an extraordinary work, indispensable for anyone who wants to enter the world of networks that abound in our world.

⭐Newman’s “Networks” is a compendium of examples, problems, and applications of networks in several fields. It is a must-have field guide for anyone studying networks, from physicists to neuroscientists, biologists and data scientists. This new version contains timely new material such as a sections on networks synchronization and community detection, missing in the 1st edition of this book. Definitely a joy to read.

⭐A great source for one who wants to learn about Network Science!

⭐This is a very complete book on the topic of networks and it is very well written, the author expresses himself very clearly. It is divided into four parts, of which the first is absolutely digestible, the second less so, while the third and fourth require knowledge of mathematics at the university level. It is printed on beautiful paper, but the volume is really heavy, about four pounds, and it is hard to hold it in your hand, you have to keep it resting on a table. It would have been better to have divided it into two volumes, also because those interested only in an introduction on the subject do not necessarily have to spend a lot of money and, as mentioned, hold such a heavy volume in their hands.

⭐Comprehensively covers contemporary knowledge of network science.

⭐This is the only valuable book to get you started with network/graph analysis. I am doing a research project with industry partners on graph analysis. It is not my background but this book helps me understanding key concepts quickly and accurately.

⭐Questo è un libro davvero completo sul tema delle reti ed è scritto molto bene, l’autore si esprime in modo molto chiaro. È diviso in quattro parti, di cui la prima è assolutamente digeribile, la seconda meno, mentre la terza e la quarta richiedono conoscenze di matematica a livello universitario. È stampato su bella carta, però il volume è davvero pesante, quasi 2 kg, e si fa fatica a reggerlo in mano, bisogna tenerlo appoggiato su di un tavolo. Sarebbe stato meglio averlo diviso in due volumi, anche perché chi è interessato solo a un’introduzione sul tema non deve per forza spendere non pochi denari e, come detto, tenere in mano un volume così pesante.The book is fantastic. I think some people confuses this fantastic book with another fine book “The Structure and Dynamics of Network” another book by Newman in collaboration with Watts & Barabasi

⭐Don’t even get close to this book. A huge disappointment. This is just a collection of papers and far from a text book.
