Network science is applied graph theory, and this book successfully blends essential graph theory topics with practical and relevant network science to illustrate the underlying mathematics. Mathematicians have been relegated to small-time players in a field populated with sociologists, computer scientists, and physicists. On the other hand, graph theory books are written like reference manuals jam-packed with theorems for graph theorists, leading instructors of graph theory courses to tease out their lectures from a plethora of results. This book's combination of theory and modern...
