On Approach, Second Edition, is an inquiry-based approach to the mathematics of politics and social choice. The aim of the book is to give readers who might not normally choose to engage with mathematics recreationally the chance to discover some interesting mathematical ideas from within a familiar context, and to see the applicability of mathematics to real-world situations. Through this process, readers should improve their critical think- ing and problem solving skills, as well as broaden their views of what mathematics really is and how it can be used in unexpected ways. In addition to making small improvements in all the chapters, this second edition contains several new chapters. Of particular interest might be Chapter 12 which covers a host of topics related to gerrymandering.

  • Re-: an Errant Glossary
    RE- Cultural Inquiry EDITED BY CHRISTOPH F. E. HOLZHEY AND MANUELE GRAGNOLATI The series ‘Cultural Inquiry’ is dedicated to exploring how di- verse cultures can be brought into fruitful rather than pernicious confrontation. Taking culture in a deliberately broad sense that also includes different discourses and disciplines, it aims to open up spaces of inquiry, experimentation, and intervention. Its em- phasis lies in critical reflection and in identifying and highlight- ing contemporary issues and concerns, even in publications with a historical orientation. Following a decidedly cross-disciplinary approach, it seeks to enact and provoke transfers among the hu- manities, the natural and social sciences, and the arts. The series includes a plurality of methodologies and approaches, binding them through the tension of mutual confrontation and negoti- ation rather than through homogenization or exclusion. Christoph F. E. Holzhey is the Founding Director of the ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry. Manuele Gragnolati is Pro- fessor of Italian Literature at the Sorbonne Université in Paris and Associate Director of the ICI Berlin. RE- An Errant Glossary EDITED BY CHRISTOPH F. E.
