Networks are present in all aspects of our lives: networks of friends, communication and transportation networks, and the Web are all examples that we experience outwardly, while the neurons in our brain and the proteins within our body form networks that determine our intelligence and survival. This modern and accessible textbook introduces the basics of network science required across a wide range of job sectors from management to marketing, from biology to engineering, and from neuroscience to the social sciences. Students will develop important, practical skills and the ability to write code for using networks in their areas of interest — even as they are just learning to program with Python. Extensive sets of tutorials and homework problems provide plenty of hands-on practice and longer programming tutorials online further enhance students’ programming skills. This intuitive and direct approach makes the book ideal for a first course, aimed at a wide audience without a strong background in mathematics or computing but with a desire to learn the fundamentals and applications of network science.
