Today, driven by the digital revolution, modern scientists are creating complex models of society itself to shed light on topics as far-ranging as epidemic outbreaks and economic growth. But how do these scientists gather and interpret their data? How accurate are their models? Can we trust the numbers? ..With a rare background in physics, economics and sociology, the author is able to present an insider’s view of the strengths, weaknesses and dangers of transforming our lives into numbers. After reading this book, you’ll understand how different numerical models work and how they are used in practice. The author begins by exploring several simple, easy-to-understand models that form the basis for more complex simulations. What follows is an exploration of the myriad ways that models have come to describe and define our world, from epidemiology and climate change to urban planning and the world chess championship...Highly engaging and nontechnical, this book will appeal to any readers interested in understanding the links between dat | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | social physics; big data; digital revolution; data and society; social philosophy; complex systems; numeri | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-65103-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-65102-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-65103-9 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
