THE BUILDING OF BRIDGES: HISTORICAL DYNAMICS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The new almanac with a very clear name ‘History & Mathematics’ was established not long ago. So by this time three volumes of the new almanac have appeared in English. The motto which the editors have chosen could be explained by their own words as ‘the building of bridges’ (Grinin, de Munck, and Korotaev 2006b: 4). First of all these are the bridges between historical dynamics and mathematics. The productivity of mathematical modeling in history is evident and the articles pub-lished in the almanac ‘History & Mathematics’ particularly prove this. 1 Thus, one may say that the almanac occupies a very important niche in the present-day humanities. The paradigm of cliodynamics (the term suggested by P. Turchin for this new approach and research school), I believe, will have a strong influence on the subsequent evolution of the humanities. In this short review I would like to make a brief presentation of the issues of the almanac that has already been published in English. The limits of this review do not give me a chance to give consideration to all papers in equal measure. And even for the luckiest of them it would be only a presentation and not the analysis.
