Lecturas recomendadas: Matemáticas en Redes Sociales y Corrupción en los Corporativos

Dos lecturas para cerrar el fin de semana
.
La primera de J. Sachs en donde argumenta que la mayor corrupción se encuentra en los grandes corporativos transnacionales:The Global Economy’s Corporate Crime Wave
Jeffrey D. Sachs
.
La segunda es una nota interesante, algo densa, que explica la relación de las matemáticas en las redes sociales... tomada del blog Understanding Society.... el punto de partida es...

...A social network is constituted by a number of units (nodes) that are connected to each other by a defined relationship -- for example, "x cites y", "x sends 5 email messages a week to y", "x and y belong to an organization in common." There are a few wrinkles -- the units may be persons, organizations, cities, journal articles, or other types of entities; the relationships may be uni-directional or bi-directional; and the linking relationships may represent categorical relationships or intensity relationships. "x and y are friends" is a bi-directional relationship; "x and y are close friends" is a bi-directional relationship recording intensity.
