Humanities

The theme "mathematics and human sciences" concerns both the application of mathematics to the humanities (e.g., economics, history, sociology) and the study by the humanities (e.g., history, philosophy, sociology) of individual and collective mathematical practice.

In the first case, we are particularly interested in the mathematical modeling of phenomena described by the humanities from a quantitative but also qualitative, i.e. reflexive, point of view.

In the second case, we are interested either in theoretical problems concerning the nature of mathematical knowledge, or in the modes of functioning of the mathematical community.

These two perspectives can also be related to the teaching of mathematics and to the outreach activities.
