Network Theory
Someone pointed me to a BBC documentary Six Degrees of Separation which discusses network theory. This is very insightful. Here is the video in its parts. The total running time is about 1 hour and worth watching. (I got this from this URL which someone sent me.)
Several interesting links were referred to in this documentary and which I stumbled across as a result of watching this documentary:
- Oracle of Bacon
- Oracle of Baseball
- Network Theory
- Small world Networks
- Map of the World Wide Web
- Disease Gene Map
- Disease Gene Map 2 (New York Times)
- Tree Structure
- SQL graph tree processing (Google Search)
- Modeling Trees in SQL
My first question when I saw this was the difference between network theory and graph theory. Network theory seem to try and explain that many things exist as networks. Graph theory seems to be an approach to explain a network. I could be wrong.
