Abstract

Abstract We discuss a two-week summer course on “Network Science” and “Complex Systems” that we taught for 15 German high-school pupils of ages 16–18. In this course, we covered topics in graph theory, applied network science, programming, and dynamic systems alike. We find that “Network Science” is a well-suited course for introducing students to university-level mathematics. We reflect on difficulties regarding programming exercises and the discussion of more advanced topics in dynamic systems. We make the course material available and encourage fellow network scientists to organize similar outreach events.

解说词:高中生暑期网络科学课程

我们讨论了为期两周的暑期课程“网络科学”和“复杂系统”，我们教15名16-18岁的德国高中生。在本课程中，我们涵盖了图论、应用网络科学、编程和动态系统等主题。我们发现“网络科学”是一门非常适合向学生介绍大学水平数学的课程。我们反映了在动态系统中编程练习和讨论更高级主题的困难。我们提供课程材料，并鼓励其他网络科学家组织类似的推广活动。

期刊介绍： Network Science is an important journal for an important discipline - one using the network paradigm, focusing on actors and relational linkages, to inform research, methodology, and applications from many fields across the natural, social, engineering and informational sciences. Given growing understanding of the interconnectedness and globalization of the world, network methods are an increasingly recognized way to research aspects of modern society along with the individuals, organizations, and other actors within it. The discipline is ready for a comprehensive journal, open to papers from all relevant areas. Network Science is a defining work, shaping this discipline. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers in all areas working on network theory, methods, and data.
