Mathematical Foundations of Complex Networked Information Systems - Politecnico di Torino, Verres, Italy 2009 (Paperback, 2015 ed.)

Introducing the reader to the mathematics beyond complex networked systems, these lecture notes investigate graph theory, graphical models, and methods from statistical physics. Complex networked systems play a fundamental role in our society, both in everyday life and in scientific research, with applications ranging from physics and biology to economics and finance. The book is self-contained, and requires only an undergraduate mathematical background.
