Seminar on

On the six degrees of separation


Abstract

Networks are everywhere. We find them in trade markets, underlying the
Internet and the World Wide Web, in gene and protein sequences, and in
social settings. This seminar focuses on a characteristic of networks
called degrees of separation. We explore the classical theory behind this
characteristic, the earliest of the experiments that led to an elucidation
of the same, and how modern-day networks exhibit the phenomenon.
