Networks: Theory and Applications
October - December 2011. Dr Michael Gastner
This course provides an introduction to the mathematical theory of networks with
applications to social networks, the Internet, transportation and biology.
Topic covered include graph theory, algorithms and mathematical models of
networks (especially random graph models). The objective is to develop the
mathematics of network-driven processes (e.g. traffic flows, epidemiology, web
search engines) and apply the theory to real data.Requirements:
Students should have a firm command of calculus and linear algebra. No
prior programming experience will be required. However, assignments will
require the use of software packages such as Matlab or Maple.
