Network of people

We explore the maths that helps explain this well-known phenomenon, which says that any two people around the world are likely to be connected through a surprisingly short chain of acquaintance links.

Richard Montgomery has won a prestigious EMS Prize at the European Congress of Mathematics 2024 for work on objects so ubiquitous in everyday life it's easy to forget they're mathematical: networks.

From social science to neuroscience, networks are everywhere! In this package we bring together our best content on network and graph theory for you to peruse.
How fast can you tell whether two networks are the same?
Mathematical models predict how fast a rumour will spread and how many people it's likely to reach.
