β¦ Synopsis
This book studies social phenomena in a new way, by making judicious use of computer technology. The book addresses the entire spectrum of classic studies in social science, from experiments to the computational models, with a multidisciplinary approach. The book is suitable for those who want to get a picture of what it means to do social research today, and also to get an indication of the major open issues. The book is connected to a database of code for simulations, experimental data and allows to activate a subscription to a teaching tool using NetLogo, a programming language widely used in the social studies. The authors are researchers with first-hand experience research projects, both basic and applied. The work will be useful for those who want to understand more of the social, economic and political phenomena via computer applications.

The book starts with a traditional approach to the game theory, in particular about the work of Morgenstern-von Neumann. This model must be related to the chaos theory for the possibility of an application to the social dynamics. The simulation of a structure based by agent can be seen also in an in
