Mathematics Motivated by the Social and Behavioral Sciences (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics; 91) by Donald G. Saari - 2018

SIAM, 2018. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This book considers how mathematics can address issues in social and behavioral sciences in areas like voting, nonparametric statistics, and supply and demand, including using evolutionary game theory to model change, the analysis of voting methods and voting theory, approaches to game theory, and the reductionist approach to complex problems. The book is a slightly expanded version of parts of the author's 10 Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences lectures presented in August 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
