Mathematicians analyze social divisions using cell phone data
Human society fractures along lines defined by politics, religion, ethnicity, and perhaps most fundamentally, language. Although these differences contribute to the great variety of human lives, the partitions they create can lead to conflict and strife, impeding efforts toward social justice and economic development. David Meyer, a mathematician at UC San Diego, has developed a new way of understanding how characteristics like ethnicity and religion coincide to define communities and ultimately influence our actions.
