Graph Algebra: Mathematical Modeling With a Systems Approach: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences, cartea 151

Autor Courtney M. Brown
en Limba Engleză Electronic book text – 29 sep 2006
Derived from engineering literature that uses similar techniques to map electronic circuits and physical systems, graph algebra utilizes a systems approach to modelling that offers social scientists a variety of tools that are both sophisticated and easily applied.
