Leading researchers from\r\nvaried communities, including economists, sociologists, financial analysts,\r\nmathematicians, physicists, statisticians, and others, report on their recent\r\nwork, discuss topical issues, and review the relevant contemporary literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA society can be described as a group of people\r\nwho inhabit the same geographical or social territory and are mutually involved\r\nthrough their shared participation in different aspects of life. It is possible\r\nto observe and characterize average behaviors of members of a society, an example\r\nbeing voting behavior. Moreover, the dynamic nature of interaction within any\r\neconomic sector comprising numerous cooperatively interacting agents has many\r\nfeatures in common with the interacting systems of statistical physics. It is\r\non these bases that interest has grown in the application within sociology and\r\neconomics of the tools of statistical mechanics. This book will be of value for\r\nall with an interest in this flourishing field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrédéric Abergel is a Professor and Director of the\r\nLaboratory of Mathematics Applied to Systems, École Centrale Paris, Grande voie\r\ndes vignes, Châtenay-Malabry, France.
