Networks - Internet, mobile phone, online social media, global economy, gene regulatory networks and distribution of limited resources for world health. Learn about models and techniques used to describe networks, processes to study networks, algorithms and methods developed to indirectly infer network structure from measured data which cut across many disciplinary boundaries.
