Subject goals and competencies:


The aim of the course is to introduce students to the most important aspects of graph theory, with a more detailed review of the theory relevant to social network analysis. Students will get acquainted with the concepts, components and organization of social networks, as well as technologies for their development, interaction and analysis.
