          • Module Description

            A graph models a set of objects and connections between them. A complex network is a graph which describes a specific conmplex system via the graph of interactions between its components. In recent times, complex networks have become an important tool for understanding systems in areas as varied as economics, biology, medicine and computer science.

            The module covers mathematical ways of describing networks and analysing their structure (for example quantitative measures of how richly connected a network is). We will also study the properties of networks generated by various random models of complex networks. It also discusses applications to real systems, such as the Internet, social networks and the nervous system of the C. elegans roundworm.

            The module Algorithmic Graph Theory also involves the theory of graphs but from a more pure perspective, and students will find interesting parallels between these modules.

              At the end of this module, students should havedeveloped with respect to the following attributes:

              • Acquire substantial bodies of new knowledge.
              • Acquire and apply mathematical knowledge in a rigorous way to real-wold problems.

          • Assessment

            • The module will be assessed by

              • assessed coursework, worth 20% of the overall mark;
              • a final exam, worth 80% of the overall mark.
          • Teaching team

            • Add information here.

          • Hints and tips

            • Lectures

              There will be three hours of lectures per week. Lectures will take place live and will be recorded. Lectures will use a virtual whiteboard and will follow the typed notes. Do your best to attend all lectures rather than watching recordings, to ensure you keep up with the module and have the opportunity to ask questions. During lectures you may want to take notes or annotate a copy of the typed notes.

              Tutorials

              There will be one hour of tutorials per week (starting from week 2), which may be listed as "seminars" in your timetable. Tutorials will take place live and will be recorded. In a typical tutorial we will recap key points from the week's lectures and we will solve some of the week's formative assignments, whose solution you don't need to turnin, but which you should be ready to discuss in the tutorial. Therewill also be an opportunity to discuss general course-related queries.

              Assessment

              There will be five assessed courseworks, each counting for 4% of your module mark. These will appear at two-week intervals, and you will have a few days to complete and submit each one (usually they open on a Friday and close at 5 pm on the following Wednesday). The final exam in May will count for 80% of your module mark.

              The full lecture notes for the module written by Prof. Ginestra Bianconi when she was teaching the module (in 2020/21 and the in the previous years) are given here.These notes are intended to be a definitive record of what is examinable.

              Information about what is taught in each week can be seen in the sections for the individual weeks below.


          • Coursework

            • ASSIGNMENT STRUCTURE AND SUBMISSION

              There will be 5 assessed courseworks,with deadline in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The 5 courseworks will respectively cover materials up to week 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

              The first 3 assessed courseworks are quizzes, thelast 2 assessed courseworks are hand-written assignements.

              Each of the 5 assessed coursework counts 4% towards yourmodule mark.

              Usually the quizzes open on Fridays at 6pm and close at 5 pm on the following Wednesdays.

              There is no time limit (however, the quiz should take less than an hour to complete). You have only one attempt at the quiz. During a quiz, If your attempt is still in progress at thedeadline, the answers you have filled in so far should now be automaticallysubmitted (whether or not you are actively working on thequiz-coursework). However, for your own reassurance, you are recommendedto explicitly submit your attempt wherever possible. Note that if youstart an attempt, or even just look at the questions, but are unable to finishdue to Extenuating Circ*mstances (ECs) such as illness you must emailmaths@qmul.ac.uk (with cc to the lecturer) before the deadline; if youdo not do this, your half-finished attempt will be automatically counted andany subsequent EC claim is likely to be rejected.

              ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

              You are encouraged to discuss the course materialand lecture notes withother students. However, your quiz-coursework submission must be yourown work. In particular, this means the following.

              • You should do the quiz-coursework questions by yourself, from your own computer, and not share answers. It's OK to say to a friend "I think I need to understand the inclusion-exclusion principle, can you explain it to me?" but it's not OK to say "What is the answer to Question 2?".

              FEEDBACK / MARKING

              Feedback on courseworks 1-3 (quizzes)

              As soon as the quiz-coursework deadline has closed,you will be able to see whether your answers to the quiz were right and whatyour marks are. Answers to a selection of quiz-courseworks will be discussed in the tutorials.

              Feedback on couseworks 4-5

              You will receive written feedback on your courseworks 4-5 after about one week from your submission.

          • Exam papers

            • The final exam is a handwritten assessment that will be held online. The assessment will be available for a period of 3.5 hours, within which you must submit your solutions. You may log out and in again during that time, but the countdown timer will not stop. If your attempt is still in progress at the end of your 3.5 hours, any file you have uploaded will be automatically submitted.

              The assessment has been designed so that to be completed within 3 hours. In completing this assessment:
              • You may use books and notes.
              • You may use calculators and computers, but you must show your working for any calculations you do.
              • You may use the Internet as a resource, but not to ask for the solution to an exam question or to copy any solution you find.
              • You must not seek or obtain help from anyone else.

              For training and preparation, consider the Formative Assignments of the module and the following past papers. A sample paper with solutions is available in the Exam Preparation and Past Papers topic.
