Inhaltsangabe

Drawing on the tools of mathematics and formal modeling, this engaging book provides a foundational understanding of mathematical sociology through a case-by-case exploration of sociological questions.


John Skvoretz underscores that the application of mathematics to sociology is integral to the ability to formulate theories about social structure and group processes clearly and unambiguously, to make advances in the social sciences. Presenting a gradual introduction to mathematical models that builds to more complex tools and logic of inquiry, Skvoretz develops an accessible resource for advancing sociology research programs. He argues that, while such tools cannot eliminate all contention over semantics, mathematical modeling can help to narrow the areas of disagreement within sociology.


Students and academics across the social sciences, particularly social network analysis, group processes, social psychology and sociology, will benefit from this book’s illuminating approach to building theoretical models in their disciplines.
