Quantitative Sociodynamics Stochastic Methods and Models of Social Interaction Processes

From the reviews:

“This ambitious volume aims to provide a comprehensive account of mathematical methods for the quantitative study of social processes, with a focus on stochastic methods. … To summarise, as an introduction to such mathematics, it is admirably comprehensive and goes through the various derivations in a careful step-by-step manner. … an excellent reference for those with some mathematical expertise in the area to refer to. For those who straddle the simulation and mathematical communities it could be very useful.” (Bruce Edmonds and Mario Paolucci, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, April, 2012)
