Combinatorial Matrix Theory (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent treatise on applied combinatorics.
Review: This book is an excellent resource for mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers. The book shows how to use zero-one matrices and stochastic matrices in your work. The text pretty shows a lot of interesting properties different matrices have and how to compute various values associated with graphs from them. The book would be very useful for people interested in Neural Networks, Speech Recognition, Artificial Intelligence. It is mathematics, though and it describes the properties of the matrices and contains many proofs about these properties. Make sure that you have mastered linear algebra and combinatorics before reading this text.
