Introduction to Random Graphs Details

From social networks such as Facebook, the World Wide Web and the Internet, to the complex interactions between proteins in the cells of our bodies, we constantly face the challenge of understanding the structure and development of networks. The theory of random graphs provides a framework for this understanding, and in this book the authors give a gentle introduction to the basic tools for understanding and applying the theory. Part I includes sufficient material, including exercises, for a one semester course at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. The reader is then well prepared for the more advanced topics in Parts II and III. A final part provides a quick introduction to the background material needed. All those interested in discrete mathematics, computer science or applied probability and their applications will find this an ideal introduction to the subject.

Historia de un canalla

Category: Livres anglais et trangers,Literature & Fiction,Genre Fiction

Historia de un canalla Details

Soy un canalla y no me arrepiento de serlo. He mentido, engañado y manipulado a mi antojo sin que me importaran las consecuencias. He destruido sueños y reputaciones, he traicionado a los que me han sido leales, he provocado dolor a aquellos que quisieron ayudarme. He jugado con las esperanzas de quienes pensaron que podrían cambiar lo que soy. Thomas Spencer sabe cómo conseguir todo lo que desea. Una salud delicada es el precio que ha tenido que pagar por su estilo de vida, aunque no se lamenta por ello. Sin embargo, desde su último episodio cardíaco una sensación extraña se ha apoderado de él y, en la soledad de su lujoso apartamento de Brooklyn, se suceden las noches en que no puede evitar preguntarse cómo habría sido la vida que conscientemente eligió no vivir. El recuerdo de los momentos que le llevaron a triunfar como publicista y asesor de imagen, entre Londres y Nueva York en los ochenta y los noventa, nos descubre los turbios mecanismos que en ocasiones emplean los centros de poder para conseguir sus fines. Un mundo hostil, gobernado por hombres, en el que las mujeres se resisten a tener un papel secundario.

Muy deprimente el tema, no deja nada positivo, esperaba mucho mas de esta escritora. Un libro muy largo para que al final te quede el mismo gusto amargo que al principio
