About

Networks mind map template covers 141 nodes across four major branches, based on Easley and Kleinberg's 'Networks, Crowds and Markets'. It explores real-life networks (social, information, technological), foundational concepts like 'Graph theory' and 'Structural holes', behavioral dynamics including 'Game theory' and 'Braess's Paradox', and institutions that aggregate individual actions into patterns. This template serves as a comprehensive study aid for understanding highly connected systems.
