Abstract

Mathematics has been used to describe the assumptions and determine their consequences in the physical sciences over the last three centuries. More recently, mathematics has been used to develop a deeper understanding of complex biological phenomena and data. We are now witnessing the expansion of mathematical methods into the social sciences. In this chapter, we trace that trail of mathematics from the physical sciences, to the biological sciences, to the social sciences and review mathematical methods that provide new tools to understand social relationships.
