Introduction to Network Mathematics

Introduction to Network Mathematics provides college students with basic graph theory to better understand the Internet

School of Mathematics Computing Guide

Guide for computing in the School of Mathematics. Intended for new staff and PG students. Originally written by Anton Prowse from a number of earlier documents.

WAIS seminar:Mathematics for Web Science Part3-1

ABSTRACT In the first two seminars we looked at the evolution of Ontologies from the current OWL level towards more powerful/expressive models and the corresponding hierarchy of Logics that underpin every stage of this evolution. We examined this in the more general context of the general evolution of the Web as a mathematical (directed and weighed) graph and the archetypical “living network” In the third seminar we will analyze further some of the startling properties that the Web has as a graph/network and which it shares with an array of “real-life” networks as well as some key elements of the mathematics (probability, statistics and graph theory) that underpin all this. No mathematical prerequisites are assumed or required. We will outline some directions that current (2005-now) research is taking and conclude with some illustrations/examples from ongoing research and applications that show great promise.
