Summary

Network science has exploded in popularity since the late 1990s. But it flows from a long and rich tradition of mathematical and scientific understanding of complex systems. We can no longer imagine the world without evoking networks. And network data is at the heart of it. In this chapter, we set the stage by highlighting network sciences ancestry and the exciting scientific approaches that networks have enabled, followed by a tour of the basic concepts and properties of networks.
