Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-06 00:00:00 Jiaying Mao I really liked the first 3 chapters of this book - they are pretty high-level, but do a good job of laying paradigmatic groundwork for computational modeling. Chapter 5 is also fairly relevant conceptually to some of my current research, but didn't contribute a lot of new concrete knowledge. I'm skeptical of Chapter 4 - the modeling seems sound, but I deeply question the wisdom of encouraging C for application work. But it isn't targeted at me - this book is more targeted at social scientists who need to model than computer scientists working on social problems.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-07 00:00:00 Brian Meadows The definitive starting point So, if you are as into category theory as I am, I'd suggest to go through this one first. Clear, understandable, containing loads of examples and exercises to grasp the basics. After this you may embark on Saunders' book. After all, Awodey was a doctoral student of Saunders'.
