The Beauty of Networks

Tuesday 17th March, 7.00pm for 7.30pm, Wallingford School Library

Professor Mason Porter, Oxford University Mathematical Institute.

From interacting with our friends on Facebook to getting stuck (again) at Birmingham New Street Station, networks pervade our lives. They have fascinating structural properties that affect how we experience them, how rumours and diseases propagate on them, and more. To study networks is to study how things are connected and the ramifications of connectivity. Professor Mason Porter from University of Oxford will give an introduction to the mathematics that underlie networks.

About the speaker: Mason Porter is Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems at University of Oxford. He holds a faculty appointment in the Mathematical Institute and is a Tutorial Fellow of Somerville College.
