Recenzii
"Drawing on a rich array of historical and contemporary examples, this book provides an introduction to dynamical systems theory and how it elucidates the complex interplay of political, economic, and social factors that give rise to social norms and institutions. The exposition is exceptionally clear and tailored to different levels of mathematical preparation. It will appeal to experts as well as students across the social sciences." -- H. Peyton Young, University of Oxford & London School of Economics, UK
"An interdisciplinary book on complexity, a guided tour through mathematical methods ranging from evolutionary game theory, dynamical systems, Markov chains and graph theory to bifurcations and chaos, with applications to nonlinear social sciences. A rigorous introduction delivered by an intriguing storytelling approach." -- Gian Italo Bischi, Professor of Applied Mathematics, University of Urbino, Italy

Descriere
Models of Society and Complex Systems introduces readers to a variety of different mathematical tools used for modelling human behaviour and interactions, and the complex social dynamics that drive institutions, conflict, and coordination.
