ON SOME MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF SOCIAL PHENOMENA

Publisher Summary Practicers of almost all academic disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary buffs, are using computers in some way, which forces them to characterize the subjects of their investigation more precisely in mathematical terms. Such a characterization will motivate a certain number of investigators to improve their mathematical skills and to be concerned with styles of mathematical model making. Physical scientists have developed a style of subtle interplay between organization of numerical data and introduction of mathematical models to classify and/or mimic the data. All new branches of mathematical physics start with some simple model. At the later stages of development of the science, more global models (or, as they are called, principles) evolve which imply a wide variety of the more primitive models.
