== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Network Science''' β The field that examines the representation, analysis, and modeling of networks. * '''Node (Vertex)''' β An individual unit in a network (e.g., a Person, a Computer, a Protein). * '''Edge (Link)''' β The connection between two nodes (e.g., a Friendship, a Cable, a Interaction). * '''Degree''' β The number of connections a specific node has. * '''Hub''' β A node with an unusually high degree (e.g., an airport like Atlanta or a celebrity like Taylor Swift). * '''Small-World Network''' β A network where most nodes can be reached from every other node by a small number of steps. * '''Six Degrees of Separation''' β The idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other. * '''Scale-Free Network''' β A network where a few "Hubs" have many connections, while most nodes have very few. * '''Clustering Coefficient''' β A measure of how much nodes in a network tend to cluster together (e.g., "Do my friends know each other?"). * '''Centrality''' β A measure of how "Important" a node is in the network (e.g., Google's PageRank). * '''Path Length''' β The distance between two nodes (the number of edges). * '''Robustness''' β The ability of a network to stay connected even if some nodes are removed. * '''Cascading Failure''' β When the failure of one node causes others to fail in a chain reaction (e.g., a power grid blackout). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
