Qualitative mathematics for the social sciences :
Rudolph, Lee (ed)
Qualitative mathematics for the social sciences : mathematical models for research on cultural dynamics / Lee Rudolph - London : Routledge, 2013 - xiii, 478p. 24cm.
In this book the author brings together international contributors who combine psychological and mathematical perspectives to analyse how qualitative mathematics can be used to create models of social and psychological processes. Bridging the gap between the fields with an imaginative and stimulating collection of contributed chapters, the volume updates the current research on the subject, which until now has been rather limited, focusing largely on the use of statistics. This book contains a variety of useful illustrative figures. A beguiling array of conceptual systems, topological models and fractals are discussed which transcend the application of statistics, and bring a fresh perspective to the study of social representations.
