DESCRIPTION:What are the uses and justifications of mathematic
 al modelling in social theorising\, particularly e
 conomics. Prominent claims make reference to rigou
 r\, clarity\, consistency\, elegance\, testing\, m
 odels as metaphors\, heuristics\, immanent critiqu
 es\, mathematics as language\, models as science\,
  and so forth.  But do the claims involved hold up
  and are they sufficient? These issues and more wi
 ll be discussed.
