Graph Algorithms: Practical Examples in Apache Spark and Neo4j: Needham, Mark, Hodler, Amy E.: 9781492047681: Amazon.com: Books

The world is driven by connections--from financial and communication systems to social and biological processes. As connectedness continues to accelerate, it's not surprising that interest in graph algorithms has exploded because they are based on mathematics explicitly developed to gain insights from the relationships between data. Graph analytics can uncover the workings of intricate systems and networks at massive scales--for any organization. We are passionate about the utility and importance of graph analytics as well as the joy of uncovering the inner workings of complex scenarios. Until recently, adopting graph analytics required significant expertise and determination, because tools and integrations were difficult and few knew how to apply graph algorithms to their quandaries.
