Networks at Heart of Complex Systems
Meidanis (Unicamp) Network Science September 18, 2020 5 / 14
Complex Systems
Society: billions of individuals Communication: billions of cell phones, computers, satellites Brain: billions of neurons Biology: thousands of genes and metabolites Hard to grasp whole looking at components Goals toward complex systems: understand describe (mathematically) predict control
