What is a network? • Topology (i.e., structure) • Activity (i.e., function) • Phase transitions
Network properties • Q: what do you notice in all these networks? • Connectivity and hubs • Power law distribution • Six-degree of separation • Kevin Bacon number • Erdos number • Scale, small -> large • Large network: stochastic properties
