Mathematics in sociology

Abstract

INTRODUCTION. In this article I present the use of mathematics in contemporary sociology by pointing out recent advances and highlighting some major sociological research streams in which mathematics is used intensively. The overview is selective and by no means exhaustive. One restriction is important to mention. A special characteristic of the mathematical approach to sociological problems is that it involves many scholars from outside the sociology discipline.
