Permutations is the official blog of the Mathematical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association. Bloggers here are both members of the MathSoc section and non-members, Sociologists and non-Sociologists. We are united by a common interest in using mathematics to understand social life. We also try to have a little fun while we’re at it!
Good luck using the math.
