Vladimir Zuzukin said Excellent and gentle introduction to network theory. Classic text. Excellent and gentle introduction to network theory. It is as challenging and rigorous as you want to make it. Read it for enjoyment and understanding. Tackle the exercises for the challenge. I highly recommend it as foundational for any new student of graphs and networks, especially prior to tackling a modern MOOC on this. "Elementary yet comprehensive enough" according to J. R. G. Mendonca. This book introduces graph theory terminology and elementary results to the absolute beginner. It does a nice job of presenting the material in the format "motivation-example-definitions-theorem-proof-remarks", which I find pedagogical.Interspersed throughout the text are some historical remarks and a lot of author's personal opinions o. A good start to a math hobby Amazon Customer This text was a great stepping stone in my hobby exploration of mathematics especially topology. In addition to the hobby appeal of graph theory I found myself applying the concepts in my day job almost immediately. I will say that with this an all the Dover books there is some trouble with mathematical symbols showign up correctly on t
