Overview
- Places the study of Sustainable Developmental Goals in a well-established mathematical context –mathematics of uncertainty
- Presents the issues of sustainability, climate change, human tracking, and modern slavery as good candidates for the use of mathematics of uncertainty due to the lack of accurate data available
- Ranks countries in terms of their achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
- Puts sustainability in a specific mathematical framework, to pave the way for future studies on the topic using a wide range of mathematical techniques
- Includes an introduction to the mathematics needed, including fuzzy sets, operations on fuzzy sets, fuzzy similarity measures, fuzzy graphs, and evidence theory
Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control (SSDC, volume 299)
