Welcome to Networks: Hilary Term 2016

Welcome to the Math C5.4 ("Networks") for Hilary term 2016.

Our lecture times are as follows:

Monday, 5–6 pm [L3] (weeks 1–6)
Tuesday, 2–3 pm [L2] (weeks 1–3, 5,6), [L3] (week 4)
Wednesday, 4–6 pm (week 7 only) [L3]
Thursday, 1-2 pm (weeks 7,8) [L3]

All locations are in the Mathematical Institute.

The class tutors are Se Wook Oh (one set), Vladimirs Murevics (one set), and me (two sets). The TAs are Roxana Feier (two sets) and Marco Pangallo (two sets).

Each set of classes consists of 6 one-hour classes. There will be 6 homework assignments.

The classes are as follows:

1. Wednesdays, weeks 2–7, room C2, 14:00 – 15:00 (Tutor: Se Wook Oh; TA: Marco Pangallo). Homework due Tuesday at 5pm.

2. Wednesdays, weeks 2–7, room C2, 15:00 – 16:00 (Tutor: Vladimirs Murevics; TA: Roxana Feier). Homework due Tuesday at 5pm.

3. Fridays, weeks 2–7, room C4, 10:00 – 11:00 am (Tutor: Mason Porter; TA: Marco Pangallo). Homework due Wednesday at 5pm.

4. Fridays, weeks 2–7, room C4, 11:00 – 12:00 noon (Tutor: Mason Porter; TA: Roxana Feier). Homework due Wednesday at 5pm.

Assessment will be based on a miniproject.

Powerpoint Presentations for Parts of Lecture 8

Once I get through some more hand-written notes, which I expect to take the first 2/3 to 3/4 of the week-8 lecture, I'll briefly discuss some things that I have in Powerpoint slides.

The first of these comes from a presentation on Cascades and Social Influence on Networks. This relates directly to material in weeks 7 and 8 (the "chapter 7" material). I don't know how much of it I'll go through, but regardless it will be useful to go through the slides outside of lecture (and you may wish to follow along). You can also see a full-length video presentation of these slides if you are interested (or if you feel it will help).

Another set of slides concerns at An Introduction to Multilayer Networks from a 3-hour tutorial talk I gave last June. (This is an accompaniment to the review article that you can find among the out-edges on this course blog.) I will most likely not go over this at all or I will only go over it for a few minutes, but I figure that it is something that some of you may find interesting.

Lectures for Weeks 5 and 7 Will Be in Room L1

The week 7 lecture has been moved from L4 to L1 because currently we have too many people showing up to fit in room L4. We have been asked to move to L1 for Week 5 because our room is needed by someone else. We will remain in room L3 for weeks 2–4, 6, and 8.

Welcome to C5.4: HT 2015

Well, a new term is upon us, and the new iteration of this course now has a different numbering from before.

I don't have the new homework assignments ready yet, so for now I'll just indicate who will be lecturing, conducting classes, and TAing.


Lectures: Fridays: 2-4 pm, rooms L3 (weeks 1–4, 6, 8) and L1 (weeks 5,7), Andrew Wiles Building


Classes:

[1] Monday: Weeks 3,5,7 (and 1TT). HT coordinates: 3:30–5:00, room C4, tutor: Peter Grindrod, TA: Bo Fan

[2] Monday: Weeks 4,6,8 (and 1TT). HT coordinates: 3:30–5:00, room C4, tutor: Peter Grindrod, TA: Bo Fan

[3] Friday: Weeks 3,5,7 (and 1TT). HT coordinates: 4:30–6:00, room C1, tutor: Mason Porter, TA: Barbara Mahler

[4] Friday: Weeks 4,6,8 (and 1TT). HT coordinates: 4:30–6:00, room C1, tutor: Mason Porter, TA: Se Wook Oh


In all cases above, all HT rooms and times are confirmed. Times and rooms for TT will be determined later.

I will post course materials when I get a chance. In the meantime, there are a bunch of useful resources among the out-edges in the sidebar. Additionally, you can get free access to Mark Newman's 2010 book on networks via University of Oxford. For most subjects, that will be our main textbook.

Welcome to Maths C6.2b ("Networks")

This is the blog for the Part C module on "Networks" (Maths C6.2b), which is being offered to Mathematical Institute undergraduates at University of Oxford for the first time in Hilary Term 2014.

Here is some information about this module:

Lectures: Fridays: 2-4 pm, room L3, Andrew Wiles Building


Classes:

[1] Tuesday: Weeks 4,6,8,1TT: 4:15 - 5:45, room (Britton Room, Trinity College), tutor: Tom Prescott, TA: Se Wook Oh

[2] Wednesday: Weeks 3,5,7,1TT: 3:00 - 4:30 pm, room C5, tutor: Mark Gilbert, TA: Se Wook Oh

[3] Wednesday: Weeks 4,6,8,1TT: 3:00 - 4:30 pm, room C3, tutor: Mark Gilbert, TA: Se Wook Oh

[4] Friday: Weeks 3,5,7,1TT: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm, room C5, tutor: Mason Porter, TA: Vladimirs Murevics

[5] Friday: Weeks 4,6,8,1TT: 4:30 - 6:00 pm, room C4, tutor: Mason Porter, TA: Vladimirs Murevics


In all cases above, all HT rooms and times are confirmed. Times and rooms for TT are tentative. (Note: I will be conducting class [3] in week 8 and Mark Gilbert will be conducting class [5] that week.)

When I get a chance, I will add relevant material to the sidebar (and also post course materials).
