In this series we covered some basic concepts of networks’ theory: their different metrics and measures at the local level and their large structure, and the most common mathematical techniques to study them.
We discussed theoretical models of networks (Poissonian, power-law distributions, configuration models, small-world model) and of network formation (including the Barabasi-Albert model of preferential attachment); and finally some processes in networks (percolation and network resilience and (time permitting) models of spreads of diseases.
