Networks and Its Applications

MAS 961 (MIT) | API 309 (HKS) – Spring 2012 (Starting Feb 9)

Instructor: Cesar A. Hidalgo PhD

Networks are an ubiquitous way to represent complex systems, including those in the social and economic sciences. The goal of the course is to equip students with conceptual tools that can help them understand complex systems that emerge in both nature and social systems. This is a course intended for a general audience and will discuss applications of networks and complexity to diverse systems, including epidemic spreading, social networks and the evolution of economic development.

At the Media Lab, the future is lived, not imagined. In a world where radical technology advances are taken for granted, Media Lab researchers design technologies for people to create a better future.

Now entering its 25th year, the MIT Media Laboratory, under the direction of Frank Moss (MIT PhD, 1977), is focusing on “human adaptability”—work ranging from initiatives to treat conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and depression, to sociable robots that can monitor the health of children or the elderly, to the development of smart prostheses that can mimic—or even exceed—the capabilities of our biological limbs.
