Description for Mathematical Modeling of Collective Behavior in Socio-Economic and Life Sciences
hardcover. Using examples from financial markets and modern warfare to the flocking of birds and the swarming of bacteria, this book shows how behavior in such diverse areas as sociology, economics, and the life sciences can be described by closely related models. Editor(s): Naldi, Giovanni; Pareschi, Lorenzo; Toscani, Giuseppe. Series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology. Num Pages: 448 pages, 98 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: KFF; PBF; PBKJ; PBW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 239 x 165 x 30. Weight in Grams: 796.
Mathematical modeling using dynamical systems and partial differential equations is now playing an increasing role in the understanding of complex multi-scale phenomena. Behavior in seemingly different areas such as sociology, economics, and the life sciences can be described by closely related models. Using examples from financial markets and modern warfare to the flocking of birds and the swarming of bacteria, the collected research in this volume demonstrates the common methodological approaches and tools for modeling and simulating collective behavior. The topics presented point toward new and challenging frontiers of applied mathematics, making the volume a useful reference text for applied ... Read more
