Mathematics and Politics: Strategy, Voting, Power and Proof By Alan D. Taylor


1995 | 297 Pages | ISBN: 0387943919 , 0387945008 | PDF | 17 MB

This book teaches humanities majors the accessibility and beauty of discrete and deductive mathematics. It assumes no prior knowledge of either college-level mathematics or political science, and could be offered at the freshman or sophomore level. The book devotes one chapter each to a model of escalation, game-theoretic models of international conflict, political power, and social choice. The material progresses in level of difficulty as the book progresses.
