This unique proceedings volume offers one of the very first truly interdisciplinary conferences ever organized. More than 20 papers in this volume are written by some of the most acclaimed researchers in their field. Contributions range over a very wide spectrum of disciplines: sociology; philosophy; economics; psychology; biology; health sciences; operations research; computer science; physics and mathematics.

This is one of the few unique books that explicitly explores what the common methodologies are across disciplines that stretch from the humanities to the exact sciences. The goal is to compare and contrast the modes of thinking and methods of research of diverse disciplines to allow readers to explore the common threads and distinct features of approach to research. Contributed by world-renowned authors, and written at a non-specialist level, it is accessible even to senior undergraduates and graduate students in various disciplines.

It is not intuitive to accept that there exists a link between quantum physical systems and cognitive systems.

The use of such probability allows for the modelling of situations which typically violate the laws of classical probability.

The Palgrave Handbook of Quantum Models in Social Science is is a unique volume that brings together contributions from leading experts on key topics in...
