About this book

"The scientific study of networks, including computer networks, social networks, and biological networks, has received an enormous amount of 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 a large scale, and the development of a variety of new theoretical tools has allowed us to extract new knowledge from many different kinds of networks. The study of networks is broadly interdisciplinary and important developments have occurred in many fields, including mathematics, physics, computer and information sciences, biology, and the social sciences. This book brings together for the first time 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. Subjects covered include the measurement and structure of networks in many branches of science, methods for analyzing network data, including methods developed in physics, statistics, and sociology, the fundamentals of graph theory, computer algorithms, and spectral methods, mathematical models of networks, including random graph models and generative models, and theories of dynamical processes taking place on networks"--

The C Programming Language

par Brian W. Kernighan et Dennis M. Ritchie

Very well known, classic introduction to the C Programming Language. Both a text for learning, a reference, and, to some, the definition of proper C language features and use.

Cover of Cooperative Phenomena in Jahn--Teller Crystals

Cooperative Phenomena in Jahn--Teller Crystals

Michael D. Kaplan, Benjamin G. Vekhter

This volume is the <em>first</em> detailed and comprehensive account of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect-focusing on the qualitative side of the phenomena. In addition to covering all aspects of this phenomena, this well-illustrated volume features a discussion on the recent breakthroughs on how the properties of high-temperature superconductors may influence the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. Researchers and students working in chemistry will find this volume to be an invaluable addition to their reference collection.
