Description

A First Course in Network Theory by Ernesto Estrada and Philip A. Knight is an introduction to the study of network theory, a highly interdisciplinary field that draws on concepts from physics, mathematics, biology, and sociology. This book balances the needs of students from diverse backgrounds, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject. The text covers the quantitative and analytical tools necessary to work with complex networks, including network and graph theory, linear algebra, and physical concepts used for studying networks. It also explores key skills such as proofing analytic results and manipulating empirical network data. The book focuses on instructing readers on modern tools for practitioners of network theory, including degree distributions, random networks, centrality measures, clusters, and communities. By combining theory, examples, and methods presented in the text, students will be equipped to conduct their own analysis of networks with confidence, while teachers will find it easy to select relevant examples and problems to teach this subject in the classroom.
