Course content
Social mathematical models such as Game Theory or Network Analysis are widely used as research tools not only in social sciences such as sociology, economics, political sciences, and social psychology but also in natural sciences such as biology, physics, and information technology etc. The Models have been regarded as common tools crossing subdivided disciplines.

In this special lecture we learn theories and methods of social mathematical models reviewing recent articles and build the models discussing some issues about social phenomena and institutions.In addition we read some social sciences and humanities texts if it's necessary.
Purpose of class
*
Goals and objectives
  1. Reviewing famous articles about Game Theory, Network Analysis, Mathematical Sociology works, or Social Sciences and Humanities literature.
  2. Seeing recent researches about Game Theory, Network Analysis,Mathematical Sociology works, or Social Sciences and Humanities literature.
  3. Reviewing articles on the basis of your own research interests, and learning presentation and reporting skills by which outsiders of your field can easily understand.
