Overview
- Unique book with respect to the existing literature; very little is available in the field using this particular approach
- Using new methods and tools from mathematical kinetic theory and stochastic game theory, this book examines the modeling of living systems as opposed to inert systems
- Real-world applications to immunology, transportation engineering, and economics
- Appeals to a broad audience: applied mathematicians, engineers, physicists, biologists, economists, and graduate students involved in modeling complex social systems and living matter in general
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology (MSSET)
