The first contact with complexity science is in a book called Think Complexity, Dr. Allen speaks very well of data structure and complexity science, Barabasi is a well-known complex network scientist, Barabasilab is a laboratory he dominates, Here the note is about the course introduced in the slider notes, of course, other people's course is not a public class, so from the PPT can only see the backbone of things, to add, slider related books here can be found
This slider first introduced a few examples, and then explained that the network is the heart of complex systems, what is a complex system? Non-linear, there are a lot of interacting small parts, like the "Super team" inside the micro-robot can be combined into a very complex large robot, this interaction has many, human also a complex system, a thought or model can always be found in many phenomena, in fact, it is very common (GIS is also a complex system), Simple laws or laws are called science, and some of the complexities of the phenomena themselves make these laws not very well applied in reality. (about what is science maybe you have a different opinion?) Welcome to the Exchange) Hawking said the next century would be a century of complex science. The slider describes each complex system behind a network, which defines the interaction of this complex system.
We need to find out the network behind this complex system (map out) to understand this complex system.
Slider gives some references and books, including a special issue of science, and a textbook he wrote, but it doesn't seem to have been updated, and here you can download the PDF:

Some of the books on network analysis, there are some original juice articles and some review, these original juice articles and review, will be sorted out link to everyone
Of course, there are also some periodicals directly named Networkscience, and there are Networkscience's official stations,
It is noteworthy that the networkscience and social networks are very different, and because of the popularity of social media data mining and big data, there is a lot of information about the social network analysis class.
