MATH 213 Introduction to Social Network Analysis

Social networks are everywhere today, and the mathematical model for a social network is a graph. With graphs we visualize the actors within a social network and any connections between them. This course introduces students to graph theory and to important tools for analyzing networks, e.g., metrics for measuring the centrality of each actor, and algorithms for community detection.
