Science of Networks

The Science of Networks studies how interconnected systems, like social, computer, or biological networks, function and evolve. It examines patterns of connections, flow of information, and influence among nodes (people, devices, or cells). By analyzing these patterns, researchers can identify important nodes, optimize communication, and understand system resilience or vulnerabilities. This field combines mathematics, computer science, and physics to reveal the principles underlying complex interconnected systems, helping us improve technology, manage social dynamics, and solve biological issues more effectively.
