Abstract:
Systems as diverse as the world wide web, Internet or the cell
are
described by highly interconnected networks with amazingly
complex
structure. Recent studies indicate that the evolution of these
complex
networks is governed by simple but generic laws, resulting in
apparently
universal architectural features. I will discuss this amazing
order
characterizing our interconnected world, and its implications
to how we
perceive the impact on communications and medicine.
Math Matters lectures feature distinguished
mathematicians and
scientists who are also superb expositors able to illuminate
the role mathematics is playing in understanding our world and
shaping our lives. The lectures are aimed at a broad audience.
