Nets, Puzzles, and Postmen: An Exploration of Mathematical Connections

by Peter M. Higgins

Book Overview

What do road and railway sytems, mingling at parties, mazes, family tress, and the internet all have in commmon? All are networks - either people or places or things that relate and connect to one another. Peter Higgins shows that all these phenomena - and many more - are underpinned by the same deep mathematical structure. Understanding mathematical networks can give us remarkable new insights into them all.
