It discusses the use of mathematical tools related to quantum mechanics and features applications in finance, biology, and social science; systematically shows how to use creation and annihilation operators for classical problems; and addresses the recent increase in research and literature on the many applications of quantum tools in applied mathematics"--Provided by publisher.Social sciencesMathematicsBusiness mathematicsQuantum theoryMathematicsSocial sciencesMathematics.Business mathematics.Quantum theoryMathematics.300.1/53012MAT031000bisacshBagarello Fabio1964-299820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810225403321Quantum dynamics for classical systems264795UNINA
