Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
"Moral Math" refers to the study of ideas drawn from mathematics which can positively impact moral decision-making and social behavior.

Despite continued expansion of democracy around the globe, the powerless majority and minorities are experiencing ignorance of their differences, culturally and/or politically. This dissertation searches for a viable human rights scheme that …
