Mathematics of, by, and for Peace This book is the joint work of two friends who have dedicated their lives to peace theory and practice, but also have a love for mathematics. It brings peace and mathematics closer, as peace mathematics; showing what such concepts as numbers, sets, probability, logic, relations, matrices, graphs, games, systems, calculus, chaos and catastrophe can contribute to peace theory and practice. To people with mathematics allergies, and to those with peace allergies, our message is simple: this book is written for you. Do not be frightened by new words, they will be introduced gently, with examples. You many find peace not only morally and politically, but also intellectually challenging. And you may find that even a little mathematics, without tears, is great fun, mind-stretching, making you stand on your toes seeing new horizons, including peace horizons.
