Also there are several pop-science books on these ideas such as: 'Six Degrees - The Science Of A Connected Age', by Duncan Watts.
There is a lightweight graph theory book 'Puzzle and Graphs' by John Fujii, that isn't very rigorous from a mathematical perspective, and may not have much in the way of programming tools, but is a fun look at the field. Most of math focused books are going to be pretty dense though. It is a 175 year old branch of mathematics and is traditionally only taught after you've exhausted most of the calculus track as a math student (although it need not be). Perhaps there is a market for an 'introductory graph theory book for the social network programmer', maybe with a title 'Practical Applied Graph Theory' or something like that. I haven't seen one yet. (I'd add a copy to my personal library.) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of maxdemarzi Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 6:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Neo4j] Suggestions on materials for learning graph theory Marko's blog has some good articles. http://markorodriguez.com/writings/ The Graph Traversal Pattern => http://arxiv.org/pdf/1004.1001v1 Constructions from Dots and Lines => http://arxiv.org/pdf/1006.2361v1 -- View this message in context: http://neo4j-community-discussions.438527.n3.nabble.com/Suggestions-on-materials-for-learning-graph-theory-tp3490877p3492120.html Sent from the Neo4j Community Discussions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
