This book highlights mathematical ideas to help explain a number of important aspects of the dynamics of social groups. These ideas are similar to those used to describe the behaviour of Lagrangian mechanical systems, and as such this book appeals to anyo

This work is dedicated to the memory of my beloved uncle Luigi De Luca. He was Professor of Classical Languages— Grammar and Literature and Principal of High Schools and transmitted to many generations of students the pleasure of understanding the logic intrinsic in reality. He was capable to explain to everybody, in a precise and rigorous way, every abstract idea, even the most difficult. He has taught me nearly every concept which I later needed in my scientific career, including the basics of set theory. I will never forget his lecture about Giambattista Vico, where he let me understand Vico’s dream of transforming history into the phenomenological evidence predicted by A New Science (Una Scienza Nuova). I hope that his pedagogical spirit will revive in this work.
