課程目標
Although related research existed long time ago, network science has emerged as a major interdisciplinary science and technology since the pioneer papers published in Nature and Science in 1998-9. Based on mathematics (probability and statistics, random graphs) and statistical physics, network science has been proven to be useful in technological networks (e.g. Internet and the series of wireless networking papers in the IEEE journals), molecular/system biology, biochemical reactions, biology, ecology, multi-agent interaction networks, networked data analysis/mining, social networks, social systems and dynamics, network security and privacy, cyber-physical systems (e.g. smart electricity grids), epidemics, and economy.

This multi-disciplinary course intends to orient fundamental knowledge and applications of network science, and to facilitate students’ capability in the information society. The prerequisite of this course is Probability (undergraduate level after Calculus). However, the class note is self-contained to provide necessary background knowledge.
