Course Objectives | In this course, basic concepts and applications of Network Science is aimed to be introduced in a general framework. During the previous years, the increasingly complex systems of life that takes place are more and more widespread. The social, economic and other visual presentations have been quickly become available. The aim of this course is to introduce an alternative approach to analyze the development of new structures with the help of the new cross-disciplinary science and concepts called Network Science. |
