Interaction among scholars and practitioners traditionally coming from different research areas is necessary more than ever in order to better understand many real-world problems we face today.   On the one hand, mathematicians need economists and social scientists to better address the methodologies they design in a more realistic way; on the other hand, economists and social scientists need to be aware of sound mathematical modelling tools in order to understand and, ultimately, solve the complex problems they encounter in their research.   With this goal in mind, this work is designed to take into account a multidisciplinary approach that will encourage the transfer of knowledge, ideas, and methodology from one discipline to the other. In particular, the work has three main themes:   Demystifying and unravelling complex systems; Introducing models of individual behaviours in the social and economic sciences; Modelling socio-economic sciences as complex living systems.   Specific tools examined in the work include a recently developed modelling approach using stochastic game theory within the framework of statistical mechanics and progressing up to modeling Darwinian evolution. Special attention is also devoted to social network theory as a fundamental instrument for the understanding of socio-economic systems. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in mathematics. 606 $aSocial sciences$xMathematical models 606 $aEconomics$xMathematical models 606 $aSocial sciences$xComputer simulation 606 $aEconomics$xComputer simulation 615 0$aSocial sciences$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEconomics$xMathematical models. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xComputer simulation. 615 0$aEconomics$xComputer simulation. 676 $a300.151 700 $aBellomo$b Nicola$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$031305 702 $aBellomo$b N. 702 $aTosin$b Andrea 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739411103321 996 $aComplex Systems and Society$93552850 997 $aUNINA
