Mathematical Theory of Connecting Networks and Telephone Traffic (1965 First Edition, Hardcover) [Ex-Library]

Condition

GOOD - EX-LIBRARY: As an ex-library book, this volume comes with a plastic covering to protect its cover. There is a shelving sticker applied to its lower spine, beneath the plastic cover. There is a library ink stamp on the title page, one dog-eared page, and a pencil mark on the dust jacket's front flap. Other than that, the book is in very good condition, but since it is from 1965, its pages are beginning to tan with age.

Product Details

This is Volume 17 in theMathematics in Science and Engineering series by Academic Press.

From the dust jacket: "This volume is a systematic study of the combinatorial nature of communications networks, and of the traffic in them. Three kinds of traffic theory problems are considered: combinatorial problems of network design, probabilistic problems of traffic analysis (encompassing statistical problems of traffic measurement and analytical problems of calculation of the grade of service), and variational problems of routing traffic in networks. Emphasis is on basic concepts rather than engineering formulas, but practical problems always motivate the choices of topics. Special attention is paid to the relevance of combinatorial properties of networks to their performance when carrying random traffic. This work is of special importance to applied mathematicians, communications systems engineers, and operational analysts."
