Mathematics has always been used in various disciplines to solve problems. A strong tradition exists in the application of mathematics in physics. For the last 60 years, sociologists have been trying to highlight the significance and application of Mathematics in explaining Sociological theories.

The question arises whether beside mathematical physics and mathematical biology a mathematical sociology can also be discerned. | |
