What's the proper way to term the relationship between "Network Science" and "Graph Theory"?
Is it incorrect or too simplistic to say that network science is a subset of graph theory?
- tokai 6y agoNetwork Science is an interdisciplinary field for the study of complex networks. Graph Theory is the mathematical study of graphs.
- allemagne 6y agoWould it be incorrect to say network science is the interdisciplinary study of an aspect from graph theory? Is there a complex network that isn't or can't be represented as a graph?
- tokai 6y agoYou could say that. Graph Theory is a method or theory used in Network Science. Graphs in the wholly abstract is not of interest to Network Science though.
