Welcome

This online book is largely inspired by Professor Yong-Yeol (“YY”) Ahn’s online class of INFO I606 Network Science at Indiana University Bloomington, and the Network Science book by Albert-László Barabási. I am deeply grateful to Professor YY Ahn for allowing me to attend the online course and to Professor Barabási for generously making his book available to everyone online. Without their help, this project is impossible.

This book has several custom blocks:

This is a note, a general notice.
This is a reminder, usually just to remind myself of something I do not understand yet.
This is a tip, which helps you to understand a concept or memorize a formula.
This is a caution, to inform you, for example, an error in publications.
This is an importance note. It tells you something you should consider when understanding a concept, for example, when scholars disagree.
