Networks

Anna Nargurey explains that the study of networks involves how to model applications of mathematical entities and how to design algorithms. Networks can be seen in many different aspects of life. You can see it from transportation to social media. Networks have progressed drastically since they first appeared centuries ago. No matter the kind of network you are speaking of, they all have nodes. links, and flows. For example, a transportation network has directions and cars. Transportation and telecommunication are two types of networks whose network problems are so often fixed easily when compared to others. Networks can be ANYTHING. The most interesting network that Nargurey mentioned was a simple plan of how to get out of a building during a fire drill. It never crossed my mind to link that with the word “network.” Another interesting fact was that the first known network was the circular flow of an economy.
