Till
algebra, that great
instrument and instance of human sagacity,
was discovered, men, with amazement, looked on several of the
demonstrations of
ancient mathematicians, and could scarce forbear to think the finding
several
of those proofs to be something more than human.
John
Locke (1690)
As
part of the conference series Algebra
without Borders we announce this year’s
title
MATHEMATICS
FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES AND
ARTS
- ALGEBRAIC
MODELING
MS2A2M
2021
Associative relationships
play important role in a variety of mathematics applications, from
sociology to
the study of languages, music, education and cognition. For
example,
social scientists have long been interested in the nature and
propagation of
human relationships, resulting in the field of social network
analysis. Perhaps unsurprisingly, semigroups of social
relationships have
been utilised to formally represent these relationships, which range
from
kinship to more fluid forms of social interactions. In this series of
conferences, we explore recent developments in semigroups as well as
other
basic algebraic structures and some of their applications in modeling
social relationships, their
origins and consequences. The MS2A2M
2021 gathers
an international
team of speakers with expertise in different disciplines to help shed
light at
ways in which mathematics is learned, understood, communicated, applied
in
various domains, and
in
dialogue with
other
sciences.
