Hi,
A friend of mine sent me an e-mail asking if I knew of any good resources for introducing undergraduate social scientists to the mathematics of networks.
In particular he said, "I want to give them a teaser on the math of networks, as applicable to social networks, life networks, etc.
Can your recommend any resources (books, video lectures, review articles, etc) that are are extremely accessible (i.e. easy)?"
Any of you folks have any recommendations?
Thanks, Blake

James Glattfelder's group at ETH Zurich has worked on social networks from a control engineering POV https://www.sg.ethz.ch/research/ownership-networks/ which is something I've long wanted to apply to the fossil fuel network. As 147 transnational corporations, about three-quarters of which are finance corporations, control about 40% of global corporations an interesting exercise might be to see which subsets of finance capitalists are supporting fossil fuels, renewables or both.
John B. also found the same stuff and blogged about it at https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/the-network-of-global-corporate-control/
