About: Q-analysis

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Q-analysis is a mathematical framework to describe and analyze set systems, or equivalently simplicial complexes. This idea was first introduced by Ronald Atkin in the early 1970s. Atkin was a British mathematician teaching at the University of Essex. Crediting the inspiration of his idea to Clifford Dowker’s paper (Homology Groups of Relations, Annals of Mathematics, 1952), he became interested in the algebra of relations in social structures. He tried to explain his idea in both mathematical and also accessible forms to both technical and general audience. His main ideas are reflected in The Mathematical Structure of Human Affairs (1974). That book covers the key ideas in q-analysis and its application to a wide range of examples, like analyzing game of chess, urban structures, politics

  • Q-analysis is a mathematical framework to describe and analyze set systems, or equivalently simplicial complexes. This idea was first introduced by Ronald Atkin in the early 1970s. Atkin was a British mathematician teaching at the University of Essex. Crediting the inspiration of his idea to Clifford Dowker’s paper (Homology Groups of Relations, Annals of Mathematics, 1952), he became interested in the algebra of relations in social structures. He tried to explain his idea in both mathematical and also accessible forms to both technical and general audience. His main ideas are reflected in The Mathematical Structure of Human Affairs (1974). That book covers the key ideas in q-analysis and its application to a wide range of examples, like analyzing game of chess, urban structures, politics at university, people and complexes, works of abstract art, and to physics. He contended that q-analysis can be considered as a powerful generalized method wherever we are dealing with relationships among sets. (en)
  • Q-análise é uma estrutura matemática para descrever e analisar sistemas de conjuntos, ou complexos equivalentemente simpliciais. Essa ideia de linguagem matemática de estrutura foi introduzida pela primeira vez por Ronald Atkin no início dos anos 1970. Esse livro cobre as ideias-chave em q-análise e sua aplicação a uma ampla gama de exemplos, como análise de jogos de xadrez, estruturas urbanas, política na universidade, pessoas e complexos, obras de arte abstrata e física. Ele sustentou que a q-análise pode ser considerada como um poderoso método generalizado onde quer que estejamos lidando com relações entre conjuntos. (pt)
