Mathematical Approaches in Studying Stress

Abstract:

Occupational stress is a global phenomenon that concerns from employees to employers and specialists from various fields: psychologists, sociologists, doctors, engineers, economists, hygiene specialists and last but not least on mathematicians. If economists have calculated the costs of this phenomenon by showing influences on the productivity, profit, the mathematicians analyze statistical and formulate laws of variation. This paper illustrates such a concern, part of a broader research on the stress in the mining sector.
