Can such events be forecast? Can we compute probabilities about them? Can we model them? This book investigates and attempts to answer these questions through Gödel's two incompleteness theorems, and in doing so demonstrates how influential Gödel is in modern logical and mathematical thinking. Many mathematical models are applied to economics and social theory, while Gödel's theorems are able to predict their limitations for more accurate analysis and understanding of national and international events.This unique discussion is written for graduate level mathematicians applying their research to the social sciences, including economics, social studies and philosophy, and also for formal logicians and philosophers of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Antonio Doria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786343150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786343154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Francisco Antonio Doria","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014053998847,"sku":"9781786343154","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e566df7-7318-4048-9992-8cc74ba4f35a.jpg?v=1767746435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/limits-of-mathematical-modeling-in-francisco-antonio-doria-9781786343154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
