Course Description: The course will explore the structure of networks and how it relates to the behavior of the people in the networks. Students will develop an understanding, through experimentation and investigation, of how the net result of many apparently independent qualities, events, or ideas is influenced by the network structure. Common and familiar phenomena, such as social networks and food webs, can be modeled as networks. The course will introduce students to the subject of graph theory (the branch of mathematics that studies networks). Students will examine real networks through the viewpoint of a mathematician, gaining an understanding of many seemingly unrelated concepts. The honors seminar integrates the required YearOne curriculum.
