This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades, mathematical models have become central to the study of social evolution, both in biology and the social sciences. But students in these disciplines often seriously lack the tools to understand them. A primer on behavioral modeling that includes both mathematics and evolutionary theory, Mathematical Models of Social Evolution aims to make the student and professional researcher in biology and the social sciences fully conversant in the language of the field. Teaching biological concepts from which models can be developed, Richard McElreath and Robert Boyd introduce readers to many of the typical mathematical tools that are used to analyze evolutionary models and end each chapter with a set of problems that draw upon these techniques. Mathematical Models of Social Evolution equips behaviorists and evolutionary biologists with the mathematical knowledge to truly understand the models on which their research depends. Ultimately, McElreath and Boyd’s goal is to impart the fundamental concepts that underlie modern biological understandings of the evolution of behavior so that readers will be able to more fully appreciate journal articles and scientific literature, and start building models of their own.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the power of mathematical modelling to give an answer to a broad diversity of real problems including medicine, finance, social behavioural problems and many engineering problems. Mathematical modelling in social sciences is very recent and comes with special challenges such as the difficulty to manage human behaviour, the role of the model hypothesis with the objectivity/subjectivity and the proper understanding of the conclusions. In this book, the reader will find several behavioural mathematical models that in fact may be understood as the so-called epidemiological models in the sense that they deal with populations instead of individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Highly recommended. . . . This is an important book in putting the burgeoning field of sociodynamics on a solid footing."—Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation This text deals with general modelling concepts in the social sciences, their applications, and their mathematical methods. The author's well-organized approach offers a clear, coherent introduction to terminology, approaches, and goals in modelling. Appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, it requires a solid background in algebra and calculus. The three-part treatment begins by addressing general modelling concepts, the second part provides applications, and the third discusses mathematical method. Topics include population dynamics, group interaction, political transitions, evolutionary economics, and urbanization. Guiding students through a series of practical applications that illustrate the methods' potential scope, the text concludes with a detailed look at mathematical methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mathematical challenges coming from the social and behavioral sciences differ significantly from typical applied mathematical concerns. ?Change,? for instance, is ubiquitous, but without knowing the fundamental driving force, standard differential and iterative methods are not appropriate. Although differing forms of aggregation are widely used, a general mathematical assessment of potential pitfalls is missing. These realities provide opportunities to create new mathematical approaches. These themes are described in an introductory, expository, and accessible manner by exploring new ways to handle dynamics and evolutionary game theory, to identify subtleties of decision and voting methods, to recognize unexpected modeling concerns, and to introduce new approaches with which to examine game theory. Applications range from avoiding undesired consequences when designing policy to identifying unanticipated voting (where the ?wrong? person could win), nonparametric statistical, and economic ?supply and demand? properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Models for Society and Biology, 2e, is a useful resource for researchers, graduate students, and post-docs in the applied mathematics and life science fields. Mathematical modeling is one of the major subfields of mathematical biology. A mathematical model may be used to help explain a system, to study the effects of different components, and to make predictions about behavior. Mathematical Models for Society and Biology, 2e, draws on current issues to engagingly relate how to use mathematics to gain insight into problems in biology and contemporary society. For this new edition, author Edward Beltrami uses mathematical models that are simple, transparent, and verifiable. Also new to this edition is an introduction to mathematical notions that every quantitative scientist in the biological and social sciences should know. Additionally, each chapter now includes a detailed discussion on how to formulate a reasonable model to gain insight into the specific question that has been introduced. - Offers 40% more content – 5 new chapters in addition to revisions to existing chapters - Accessible for quick self study as well as a resource for courses in molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, medicine, ecology and evolution, bio-mathematics, and applied math in general - Features expanded appendices with an extensive list of references, solutions to selected exercises in the book, and further discussion of various mathematical methods introduced in the book

This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olinick’s Mathematical Models in the Social and Life Sciences concentrates not on physical models, but on models found in biology, social science, and daily life. This text concentrates on a relatively small number of models to allow students to study them critically and in depth, and balances practice and theory in its approach. Each chapter concluded with suggested projects that encourage students to build their own models, and space is set aside for historical and biographical notes about the development of mathematical models.

This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current mathematical models are notoriously unreliable in describing the time evolution of unexpected social phenomena, from financial crashes to revolution. Can such events be forecast? Can we compute probabilities about them? Can we model them? This book investigates and attempts to answer these questions through Gödel's two incompleteness theorems, and in doing so demonstrates how influential Gödel is in modern logical and mathematical thinking. Many mathematical models are applied to economics and social theory, while Gödel's theorems are able to predict their limitations for more accurate analysis and understanding of national and international events.This unique discussion is written for graduate level mathematicians applying their research to the social sciences, including economics, social studies and philosophy, and also for formal logicians and philosophers of science.

Download or read book Explicit Mathematical Models for Behavioral Science Theories written by Paul Rozarlien Pudaite and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical science theories are often expressed as precise mathematical relationships from which researchers can derive empirically testable consequences. Mathematical modeling takes on additional tasks in the conduct of behavioral science research because behavioral science theories are typically expressed verbally, permitting a variety of mathematical representations for their conceptual relationships. This paper contains three different applications that (1) specify explicit mathematical models for various behavioral science theories, (2) verify the logical consistency of the formalized set of assumptions, and (3) examine the deductive content of the theories' models. The first application, "Stability in the Prisoners' Dilemma," corrects some theorems by Robert Axelrod and others asserting the existence of "evolutionarily stable strategies" and extends this work. This is accomplished by: (1) formalizing the concept of strategy for iterated games and showing that the original proofs only establish "pair-distinct" stability, (2) showing that all strategies for playing the Iterated Prisoners' Dilemma (IPD) are dynamically unstable, (3) deriving a measure of the degree of instability of IPD Strategies, and (4) demonstrating that mutual cooperation can reduce instability, even though it does not eliminate it. The second application, "Models for Long Cycles in War and Production," produces (1) a differential equation model consistent with Joshua Goldstein's long cycle theory that produces simple harmonic motion with fixed cycle times in contrast to his observation that the duration of individual cycles varies from 30 to 70 years, and (2) a second model that corroborates three primary features of long cycles observed by Goldstein including variable cycle times. The third application, "Measuring the Rate of War Outbreak," (1) develops a variable intensity Poisson process model, (2) uses this model to explicitly derive statistically precise predictive estimates of the rate of war outbreak, and (3) derives descriptive estimates of the rate of war outbreak that provide strong, unanticipated corroboration of Goldstein's long cycle dating scheme and of the "resource interpretation" of his long cycle theory developed in the second application.
