Reihe: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control

This book concisely presents a broad range of models and theories on social systems. Because of the huge spectrum of topics involving social systems, various issues related to Mathematics, Statistics, Teaching, Social Science, and Economics are discussed.  In an effort to introduce the subject to a wider audience, this volume, part of the series “ Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ”, equally addresses the needs of mathematicians, statisticians, sociologists and philosophers.  The studies examined here are divided into four parts. The first part, “ Perusing the Minds Behind Scientific Discoveries ”, traces the winding path of Syamal K. Sen and Ravi P. Agarwal’s scholarship throughout history, and most importantly, the thought processes that allowed each of them to master their subject. The second part covers “ Theories in Social Systems ” and the third discusses “ Models in Social Systems ”, while the fourth and final part is dedicated to “ Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences”. Given its breadth of coverage, the book will offer inquisitive readers a valuable point of departure for exploring these rich, vast, and ever-expanding fields of knowledge.
