Big-(Wo)men, Tyrants, Chiefs, Dictators, Emperors and Presidents [electronic resource] :  Towards the Mathematical Understanding of Social Groups /
dell'Isola, Francesco.author.
This book highlights mathematical ideas to help explain a number of important aspects of the dynamics of social groups. These ideas are similar to those used to describe the behaviour of Lagrangian mechanical systems, and as such this book appeals to anyone wanting to gain an understanding of the intrinsic unity of natural phenomena.
