This is to be interpreted in a wide sense as manifested by the membership which spans
the following areas: anthropology, cognitive science, economics, engineering, logic
and the philosophy of science, mathematics, political science, and sociology. Additional

sciences. With high-power social scientists (several are members of the National Academy)
providing insights about the field and working with the mathematicians who are involved,
new mathematical approaches to analyze these issues are being developed and new kinds
of mathematical questions are being raised. Learn more . . . •
