Can networks unlock secrets of AI or make sense of a social media mess? A behind-the-scenes look at how networks reveal reality. According to mathematician Anthony Bonato, the hidden world of networks permeates our lives in astounding ways. From Bitcoin transactions to neural connections, his book explains how networks shape everything from political landscapes to climate patterns and how deceptively simple dots and lines can unveil the wonders of technology, society, and even nature. Networks are dots and lines connecting them. They are also called graphs, and graph theory is a well-established discipline intersecting pure and applied mathematics. While graph theory texts often discuss the theoretical side of mathematics, it is less common to see a book devoted to its modern applications. What is the book about? My main goal for the book is to give the reader a snapshot of modern network science, told through timely applications. The topics presented are not meant to be exhaustive but will give the reader a sampling of flavors of the discipline.
