The New Science of Networks

The New Science of Networks explores how interconnected systems—like social interactions, computer connections, or biological organisms—operate and influence each other. By analyzing patterns, structures, and flow within these networks, researchers uncover insights into how information spreads, diseases transmit, or communities form. This science helps us understand the complexity of interconnected systems, identify key nodes or influencers, and optimize or protect these networks. It applies mathematical and computational tools to reveal fundamental principles that govern various interconnected systems in nature and human society.
