Publisher's Synopsis
This is an introduction to areas of mathematics relevant to modern communications, combining two aspects of communication theory. It reflects the current high level of interest in this field, and will be attractive to those studying mathematics and the computing sciences.;Divided into two sections, the book looks first at graph-theoretical concepts and algorithms and applies these to problems in the design and analysis of networks. There is also an introduction to line capacity allocation. Part 2 focuses on linear systems in their application to the processing of signals. It aims to provide mathematical support for the understanding of the filtering process and the design of filters, both in continuous and discrete time.
