Scanned Notes Posted

I have scanned my handwritten notes that I used for the lectures and have posted them. Note that these notes are "as is" (and should be treated as such), but I hope they are helpful. I know some people had to miss lectures for things like interviews and perhaps not everybody had a chance to ask their classmates for notes. There are sections 0–7 (where Section 0 is tiny), and note that the second half of the last lecture follows the Powerpoint slides to which I have already provided an out-edge.

If you missed lectures, I still recommend strongly that you consult your classmates regarding any discussions or clarifications of points therein.

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.

Networks Outreach Event, Oxford, Saturday, 14 March

I will be running a networks outreach event in the Mathematical Institute on Saturday 14 March. It will occur from 9:30 am until noon, and I could use some more volunteers to help me. Maybe some of you would be interested in joining in on this. We'll be interactively teaching some of the basics of networks to school students.

To get an idea of what we've done before, we described our efforts in this article. We also developed some teaching materials.

I know that the day after week 8 tends to be busy for many of you, but maybe some of you will be interested in helping out. Let me know if you are.
