| The Probability Companion for Engineering and Computer Science |
The underlying mathematics is presented in full, but clarity takes priority over complete rigour, making this text a starting reference source for researchers and a readable overview for students.
- Some sixty-four exercises and ninety-one worked examples feature real-world scenarios
- Hundreds of diagrams illustrate concepts and results to help readers visualise concepts and improve intuition
- Detailed mathematical derivations are built for clarity rather than complete rigour

It covers maximum flows, minimum-cost flows, generalized flows, multicommodity flows, and global minimum cuts and also presents recent work on computing electrical flows along with recent applications of these flows to classical problems in network flow theory.
- Presents results in the area from a modern computer science algorithms outlook
- Contains several key algorithms not previously treated in book form, including new algorithms on electrical flow
- Includes fifty-five end-of-chapter exercises which provide applications and additional algorithms to analyze
