Networks constitute the backbone of complex systems, from the human brain to computer
communications, transport infrastructures to online social systems, metabolic reactions
to financial markets. Characterising their structure improves our understanding of the
physical, biological, economic and social phenomena that shape our world.
Rigorous and thorough, this textbook presents a detailed overview of the new theory
and methods of network science. Covering algorithms for graph exploration, node ranking
and network generation, among the others, the book allows students to experiment with
network models and real-world data sets, providing them with a deep understanding of the
basics of network theory and its practical applications. Systems of growing complexity are
examined in detail, challenging students to increase their level of skill. An engaging pre-
sentation of the important principles of network science makes this the perfect reference for
researchers and undergraduate and graduate students in physics, mathematics, engineering,
biology, neuroscience and social sciences.
"This is not just an important but an imperative project: to approach the problem of randomness and success using the state of the art scientific arsenal we have. Barabasi is the person."
--Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the New York Times bestselling The Black Swan and Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU
An international bestseller
In the bestselling tradition of Malcom Gladwell, James Gleick, and Nate Silver, prominent professor László Barabási gives us a trailblazing book that promises to transform the very foundations of how our success-obsessed society approaches their professional careers, life pursuits and long-term goals.
Too often, accomplishment does not equal success. We did the work but didn't get the promotion; we played hard but weren't recognized; we had the idea but didn't get the credit. We convince ourselves that talent combined with a strong work ethic is the key to getting ahead, but also realize that combination often fails to yield results, without any deeper understanding as to why. Recognizing this striking disconnect, the author, along with a team of renowned researchers and some of the most advanced data-crunching systems on the planet, dedicated themselves to one goal: uncovering that ever-elusive link between performance and success.
Now, based on years of academic research, The Formula finally unveils the groundbreaking discoveries of their pioneering study, not only highlighting the scientific and mathematic principles that underpin success, but also revolutionizing our understanding of:
Why performance is necessary but not adequate
Why "Experts" are often wrong
How to assemble a creative team primed for success
How to most effectively engage our networks
And much more.
