What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[T]he volume offers certain important building blocks that can represent a bonus for students willing to learn simulation in the future… Bonacich and Lu’s work brillantly introduces much of what ABM students will be requested to know in their subsequent studies.“–Giangiacomo Bravo, JASSS “If you are interested in sociology specifically, or in some of the others social sciences (especially political science), then this book is a very good introduction for you… I would certainly recommend it to students and others who have some mathematical maturity and are interested in mathematical sociology, mathematical political science, or mathematical psychology.”–JamesM. Cargal, UMAP Journal
