Dr. Masood Otorod of the University Mathematics Department presented a research seminar on a mathematical hypothesis of social change.  The state of a social system can be described by a mathematical model analogous to the rate of chemical reactions in terms of a finite number of parameters which are abstractions from the effective, inherent and distinctive properties of the social system.

The model is developed on the assumption of the following laws of social change: (1)The time rate of change in the state of a society  is equal to the difference between the rate of change of the effective social brilliance  and the rate of change in the status quo, and (2) The rate at which a social phenomenon exerts an influence in shaping the state of a society is proportional to its effective value.
