This book provides a concise and up-to date introduction to mathematical sociology. It covers all the essential mathematics, including set theory, probability function, matrix multiplication, graphs, elementary game theory, groups and their graphs, and Markov chains. The authors show how to apply these mathematical tools to demography, relations in social networks, Markov chains, the evolution and stability in human groups, chaotic and complex systems, and more. They also provide numerous exercises throughout as well as easy-to-use computer simulations that help to examine the effects of changing parameters on model behavior. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE NEWLINEThis book is designed first for sociology students in courses on mathematical sociology and social networks. It is also relevant for social scientists who are engaged in mathematical sociology or general system theory.
