Zusatztext The context and exposition make this a useful textbook for beginners, as well as a reference book for experts in a variety of disciplines Informationen zum Autor Guido CaldarelliAssociate Professorship (Primo Ricercatore) National Institute for Condensed Matter Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Roma "La Sapienza" Klappentext Many different systems both in nature and in technology can be described by means of networks of interconnected components. Despite their different aspects, all of them share similar mathematical properties. In this book we explain how to recognize these features and why these different systems develop this common structure.
