Networks, Crowds, and Markets: Foundations for Formal Analysis and Design

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

Information science studies systems at the juncture of people and technologies---their behavior, analysis and design. This doctoral level mixed lecture-seminar course is an introduction to the formal analysis of social systems: we will introduce concepts from mathematics, computer science and economics that are fundamental to analyzing many settings---networks, crowds, markets---studied by information science, and see how formal reasoning using abstract mathematical models can help analyze and predict outcomes. Throughout, we will draw on real-world examples such as social networks, Internet markets, and crowdsourcing to illustrate how formal analysis can inform the understanding and design of social systems.

When Offered Fall.
