Robin J. Wilson – författare

In recent years graph theory has emerged as a subject in its own right, as well as being an important mathematical tool in such diverse subjects as operational research, chemistry, sociology and genetics. Robin Wilson’s book has been widely used as a text for undergraduate courses in mathematics, computer science and economics, and as a readable introduction to the subject for non-mathematicians.The opening chapters provide a basic foundation course, containing definitions and examples, connectedness, Eulerian and Hamiltonian paths and cycles, and trees, with a range of applications. This is followed by two chapters on planar graphs and colouring, with special reference to the four-colour theorem. The next chapter deals with transversal theory and connectivity, with applications to network flows. A final chapter on matroid theory ties together material from earlier chapters, and an appendix discusses algorithms and their efficiency.

Doing Ethnographic Research directly relates to social anthropology, sociology, social policy, criminology, education, business and marketing. It also take case studies and scenarios from areas such as health, nursing, and social work in order to make the reader aware of scope of ethnographic research methods which are increasingly being integrated into such courses at undergraduate level. This book is ideal for postgraduate students in a wide range of disciplines who are also trained in qualitative research methods.
