Course Objectives: Goal: The emphasis throughout the course is on internalizing basic concepts of network theory and sharpening problem-solving skills. Student Learning Outcomes: Complex networks analysis. Understand mathematics of complex networks, statistical properties of networks, mathematical models to generate networks and processes on networks. Identify and solve network problems in applied sciences.
Course Contents: mathematics of networks, algebraic concepts in network theory, spectra of the network representing matrices, degree distribution, clustering coefficients, centrality measures, random network models, real-world networks, processes on networks
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Complex networks analysis
  • 2- Understand mathematics of complex networks
  • 3- statistical properties of networks, mathematical models to generate networks and processes on networks
  • 4- Identify and solve network problems in applied sciences.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: The course is designed to benefit students of complex systems to learn basic network theory concepts. The course provides an eminently valuable introduction to the study of network theory, spectral properties of networks, random network models, processes on networks and their real-world applications. The material covered in this subject is intended to provide you with the mathematical tools and understanding of complex networks.
