This edited volume presents examples of social science research projects
that employ new methods of quantitative analysis and mathematical
modeling of social processes. This book presents the fascinating areas
of empirical and theoretical investigations that use formal mathematics
in a way that is accessible for individuals lacking extensive expertise
but still desiring to expand their scope of research methodology and add
to their data analysis toolbox.
Mathematical Modeling of Social Relationships professes how
mathematical modeling can help us understand the fundamental,
compelling, and yet sometimes complicated concepts that arise in the
social sciences. This volume will appeal to upper-level students and
researchers in a broad area of fields within the social sciences, as
well as the disciplines of social psychology, complex systems, and
applied mathematics.
