The Network Pages

In this video, we explain periodic trajectories and explore how many exist on a billiard table. We will take you on a small journey where we will look at this problem from an unexpected perspective. We hope you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=lERFuKVl…

Our guts need to be filled with a range of mutually beneficial and competitive interactions, a perfect blend of friends, frenemies, and enemies to keep our guts active. In our article you will read how networks can help understand these interactions! networkpages.nl/microbiome-t…

How do companies like Gorillas and Flink deliver groceries so fast? To find an answer we look at their warehouses. The routes that pickers take are essential to efficiency. Read our article, written by Tim Engels from the @TUeindhoven. networkpages.nl/picking-the-…

The new book of Remco Van Der Hofstad is published! In February 2024, the second Volume of the Random Graphs and Complex Networks book series has appeared. Remco wrote a short post about his new book! networkpages.nl/random-graph…

Have you ever wondered how stolen necklaces are tactfully divided? Join us on a captivating journey into the math under necklace splitting and see how this theorem will play an important role. This article was written by Yilin Li from the @UvA_Science. networkpages.nl/the-elegant-…

Did you know that a city tour was the foundation of the mathematical field of graph theory? And that graph theory has applications even in magic? Have a look at our newest article written by Chinook Felix, from the @UvA_Science. networkpages.nl/the-magic-of…

An important question in queueing theory is how to make decisions in service systems (online shopping, call centers, etc). In our article, Shreehari Bodas from the @UvA_Science, wrote about an important concept called loss of opportunity. Have a look! networkpages.nl/a-peek-into-…

Are you one of those people who always seems to pack just a bit too much for your car to handle when packing for a vacation? Then you should have a look at this article, written by Céline Swennenhuis from the @TUeindhoven networkpages.nl/why-packing-…

We are happy to announce that "A PhD, is that for me?" will take place in Utrecht on Friday February 2nd, 2024! This event is open for all master students in mathematics related programs in the Netherlands. Information and registration: platformwiskunde.nl/a-phd-is… @platformwisk

Our content is divided into six themes: Algorithms, Math Insight, Hubs and Communities, Decisions under uncertainty, Real-world networks, Human Interest. These themes reflect the topics that we write about on the Network Pages! networkpages.nl/

It is a very exciting day today! After five months of hard work we launched the new version of the Network Pages! With a modern and joyful layout, new functionalities and a clearer structure. Feel free to explore the new version of our website! networkpages.nl/

"Despite our high level of development, the COVID-19 pandemic has been continuously causing us struggles for two years. How can contemporary science not deal with a flu-like virus?" Read our article, written by Marta Milewska from the @CWInl. networkpages.nl/why-scientis…

Besides articles we also invest time and energy into exploring the opportunities that animations and simulations offer! Have a look at our updated website with a complete list of the animations we have developed until now.  networkpages.nl/CustomMedia/

In our article, Jop Briët, from the @CWInl, wrote about two incredibly interesting mathematical results. He discusses the Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions and Szemerédi's regularity lemma! With a great animation developed by Martijn Gösgens. networkpages.nl/structure-is…

Students Samuel Asmeron, Thomas de Boer, Anna Heikamp, and Daan Hoogcarspel from the BSc Mathematics of the @UvA_Science developped a video explaining Burnside's Lemma from group theory. The video is intended for a broad audience. Enjoy! youtu.be/KyvZBo4PQlk

It is time to take a break from the articles, and to sit confortably and enjoy some nice videos! networkpages.nl/some-fun-vid…

Centrality measure are a very important topic when studying networks. In our new article, Manish Pandey, from the @TUeindhoven, discusses some important centrality measures and how mathematicians use them to determine "important" points in a network. networkpages.nl/centrality-m…

Who says that in discussing a scientific topic you should be confined by what is realistic? Wessel Blomerus from the @TUeindhoven created a character out of Reinforcement Learning! What more suitable than creating the featured image using DALL-E. networkpages.nl/the-versatil…
