Book Description
Linear Network Theory presents the problems of linear network analysis and synthesis. This book discusses the theory of linear electrical circuits, which is important for developing the scientific outlook of specialists in radio and electrical engineering. Organized into 13 chapters, this book begins with an overview of circuit theory that operates with electrical quantities, including voltage, charge, and current. This text then examines sinusoidal function as the predominant form of a periodic process in electrical circuits. Other chapters consider the reduction of a series–parallel network to single equivalent impedance, which is one of the main forms of converting circuit diagrams often used in practice. The final chapter deals with the Laplace transformation or operational calculus, which is a combination of methods of mathematical analysis. This book is intended to be suitable for students in the specialized branches of electrical and radio engineering, post-graduates, and engineers extending their theoretical knowledge.
A First Course in Network Theory

Book Description
The study of network theory is a highly interdisciplinary field, which has emerged as a major topic of interest in various disciplines ranging from physics and mathematics, to biology and sociology. This book promotes the diverse nature of the study of complex networks by balancing the needs of students from very different backgrounds. It references the most commonly used concepts in network theory, provides examples of their applications in solving practical problems, and clear indications on how to analyse their results. In the first part of the book, students and researchers will discover the quantitative and analytical tools necessary to work with complex networks, including the most basic concepts in network and graph theory, linear and matrix algebra, as well as the physical concepts most frequently used for studying networks. They will also find instruction on some key skills such as how to proof analytic results and how to manipulate empirical network data. The bulk of the text is focused on instructing readers on the most useful tools for modern practitioners of network theory. These include degree distributions, random networks, network fragments, centrality measures, clusters and communities, communicability, and local and global properties of networks. The combination of theory, example and method that are presented in this text, should ready the student to conduct their own analysis of networks with confidence and allow teachers to select appropriate examples and problems to teach this subject in the classroom.

Book Description
SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS As social media dominates our lives in increasing intensity, the need for developers to understand the theory and applications is ongoing as well. This book serves that purpose. Social network analysis is the solicitation of network science on social networks, and social occurrences are denoted and premeditated by data on coinciding pairs as the entities of opinion. The book features: Social network analysis from a computational perspective using python to show the significance of fundamental facets of network theory and the various metrics used to measure the social network. An understanding of network analysis and motivations to model phenomena as networks. Real-world networks established with human-related data frequently display social properties, i.e., patterns in the graph from which human behavioral patterns can be analyzed and extracted. Exemplifies information cascades that spread through an underlying social network to achieve widespread adoption. Network analysis that offers an appreciation method to health systems and services to illustrate, diagnose, and analyze networks in health systems. The social web has developed a significant social and interactive data source that pays exceptional attention to social science and humanities research. The benefits of artificial intelligence enable social media platforms to meet an increasing number of users and yield the biggest marketplace, thus helping social networking analysis distribute better customer understanding and aiding marketers to target the right customers.

Book Description
Social networks surround us. They are as diverse as a local community trying to help solve a neighborhood crime, a firm wondering how to streamline decision making, or a terrorist cell figuring out how to plan an attack without central coordination. This groundbreaking book explores social networks in formal and informal organizations, using a combination of approaches from social psychology, I/O psychology, organization/management science, social learning, and helping skills. A quantum advance over conventional social network analysis, Dynamic Network Theory examines how social networks articulate goals and generate social capital at various levels. Geared for researchers and practitioners, Dynamic Network Theory is also written for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. Appendixes include primers on designing and analyzing dynamic network charts.
