Written for advanced computer science or applied mathematics undergrads and for graduate students in the information sciences who specialize in retrieval systems, this slim volume describes the applied mathematics used in information management as these come together in search engines. Chapters on vector space modeling and link-structure algorithms (the latter is new to this edition) are among the computational methods described. The bibliography has been expanded for this edition. Berry and Browne (both are with the Computer Science department at the U. of Tennessee) developed this text from a successful undergraduate course there.
