This little book just gives you the essentials in very clear prose. Good theory as well as good examples. We are adopting it for coursework with students of varied backgrounds. Review: A detailed introduction to ABM - Agent-Based Models (ABM) is a very good introduction to Agent based modeling. The author covers most of the details to take into account when you want to use this modeling approach. The author also introduce the readers to the most popular tools (NetLogo, Repast, Mason) and displays and explain in details some pieces of code in order to illustrate the central concepts. In my opinion, however there is a lack in the details of implementation, execution and fitting for this kind of models. The reader will also need more details in order to write an ABM by him/herself. In summary it is a good introduction to the subject, but more details could be added. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,646,577 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,418 in Sociology Research & Measurement #2,435 in Social Sciences Research #41,196 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | ## Images ![Agent-Based Models (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61L1jtb1OYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what you need *by G***E on November 29, 2010* No beating around the bush.

Very nice. *by B***S on February 26, 2010* I've recently been on a reading spree in the area of agent based models and have spent a lot of time reading hefty tomes on the topic. This unassuming little book was initially (ie when i first opened my package) a bit of a dissapointment. What could it offer compared to the much heavier (in grams) books that accompanied it? Fifty pages in, I was amazed at the way this book said more with less. It could be that the earlier reading meant that I did not need the gaps to be filled so i got more out of it, but I don't think so. I believe that Mr Gilbert knows the subject back to front, and I would suggest to anyone exploring the agent based modelling topic to buy this book, read it, then go to the website for the journal of artificial societies and social simulation (having expected a big subscription free, I was delighted to discover that this is a free web based journal) for more detail. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9783702-agent-based-models-quantitative-applications-in-the-social-sciences](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/9783702-agent-based-models-quantitative-applications-in-the-social-sciences) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
