"or anyone who wants to delve deeply into just how Google's PageRank works, I recommend Google's PageRank and Beyond." -Stephen H. Complete and self-contained section for mathematics review.Many illustrative examples and entertaining asides.
The philosophy throughout is to encourage readers to experiment with the ideas and algorithms in the text.Īny business seriously interested in improving its rankings in the major search engines can benefit from the clear examples, sample code, and list of resources provided. The book includes an extensive background chapter designed to help readers learn more about the mathematics of search engines, and it contains several MATLAB codes and links to sample web data sets.
For example, the authors include entertaining asides such as how search engines make money and how the Great Firewall of China influences research. While other chapters are much more mathematical in nature, each one contains something for both audiences. The chapters build in mathematical sophistication, so that the first five are accessible to the general academic reader. The book serves two very different audiences: the curious science reader and the technical computational reader. Why doesn’t your home page appear on the first page of search results, even when you query your own name? How do other web pages always appear at the top? What creates these powerful rankings? And how? The first book ever about the science of web page rankings, Google’s PageRank and Beyond supplies the answers to these and other questions and more.
