Preface
This textbook is the natural evolution of some teaching notes prepared for the course on “Quantitative Methods - Module 1, Mathematics” in the “Bachelor in International Government” program at Bocconi University. While many books are available on statistics for the social sciences, few try to cover mathematics for the social sciences. This textbook represents such an attempt, the aim being to present some mathematical tools of value in the social sciences through a number of examples. These mathematical tools are: • • • •
Linear algebra; Differential calculus; Integral calculus; Dynamic systems.
