Dear Edmund Chattoe,
I’m a post-graduate at the Chair of Mathematical Modeling and specialize in the
area of Computer Simulation of Social
Processes in particular the gender study. The topic of my research work is
Family Evolution and Gender as Simulation Object.
I created the mathematical models:
1. Influence of Men Well-being Upon Women Conduct Computer Model.
2. Strategies of Adaptive Agents Behaviour or at Stability Edge.
3. Model of Marriage Pair Creation.
These models realized on base of the multi-agent approach in the Swarm
software.
Now I design the following courses:
1. Mathematical Modeling of Social Systems;
2. Computer Simulation as Research Methods of the Family and Gender a
Relations,
3. Computer Simulation in Psychology;
Sincerely yours,
Julia Frolova
