Description
Available only as a highly interactive e-book, this revolutionary volume
allows mathematicians and geographers to view graph theory in a new and vibrant
way. The electronic format takes full advantage of online tools such as
animation and Java™ applets to allow readers to follow processes as they happen, while
hyperlinks allow readers to move easily through the text for quick reference to
theorems or definitions. Features of the e-book include:
- Flexibility of coverage and
pedagogy
- Each chapter is linked to a
complementary chapter in which the mathematics behind the examples are explained fully.
- Geographic examples from Los Angeles to Berlin and from freeways to
pneumatic tube systems showcase the synthetic nature of graph theory and geography, and build the
readers interest so that new applications will ensue.
- Four-color graphics are used throughout.
- In the event of future enhancement, readers will be able to purchase
upgrades for a small fee after paying the full price for the main product. Applicability to various levels
(serious undergraduates / general readers and professionals in geography)
Theories and definitions are accompanied by complementary chapters that
explain the mathematics behind the examples and provide quick reference options. Standard
theorems and definitions are discussed in a series of real-world settings.
Renowned experts in the field, the authors provide complete, up-to-date
coverage of relevant theories using real-world examples to highlight the
synthetic nature of graph theory and geography and help professionals and
students find new, concrete applications. Frank Harary is the modern-day guru of
graph theory, and a noted purist-turned-applied.
