Principles of Communications end of (full) week 2.

Today, I'll finish the graph theory lectures, covering social networks, small world nets, random graphs, alpha/beta and spreading/search.

So we'll have done:
# Introduction1
# Systems
# Layering
# Information Theory
On this topic, John Daugman's notes are great
# Channel Capacity
(not Modulation - this is on hold to end in case we have time)
# Graph Theory
# Social Networks+

On the last topic, this book on Small Worlds by Duncan Watts is a nice read. Another good book on the topic covers more about flows over such networks (information or diseases for example) is
Connected, by Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler


That means from monday (and most of next week, oct 25,27,29) we're doing Routing.
If things go to schedule, then subsequent week (nov 1,3,5) will be Error Contol, Queueing Theory and Flow Control.
