Synopsis of the  course:

Networking concepts have become essential to the design of high-performance communication systems, including wired and wireless networks. More broadly,  network science is emerging as a field that encompasses the study of network phenomena that occur in diverse settings from the Internet to biological to societal networks such as transportation networks.

 

The goal of this course is to gain working knowledge of a set of models and tools of network theory to be able to design and analyze algoritms and understand the behavior of systems containing network concepts.
