Integration of Mathematics into Social Science

Industrialization:

Industrialization was the beginning of Social Sciences being explored scientifically.

It also was the beginning of public education.

Though the scientific method was being applied to social science there was little computation involved and people didn’t have a need for it.

Bayes' theorem, an idea which would revolutionize statistics... one day.

We developed mathematical theory in this time which was not feasible to be used in research due to computation limits.

Romanticism:

Individuals became a greater focus in society and there was an increase in sympathy to the insane or disadvantaged of society.

WW1:

There are a greater and greater number of educated Europeans and Americans who are applying mathematics and science to industry and arms, social scientists focus more on poverty levels in their own nations (nationalism).

In the age of propaganda and the beginning of consumerism we see more focus on the human psyche and increased interest in statistical studies.

WW2:  

The USA gains some amazing German Scientists

The development of the computer as a useful tool to human professionals.  But it is still not advanced enough to put the pre-industrialization theory into useful practice.

United States involvement in other nations incentivises statisticians to help out social scientists and politicians.

Space Race:  Emergence of the USA as a nation with great scientists and researchers.  The computer becomes more and more prominent.

Modern Times:

1980’s development of sophisticated “high level” computer languages for coding, and the home desktop.

1990’s the development of the internet.  

2000’s the internet loads up with data that would be very useful to social scientists, politicians, psychologists, economists and most other professionals.
