Toward a Mathematical Theory of Counterterrorism: Building the Perfect Terrorist Cell

By Jonathan David Farley

In the war on terror, decisions have to be made concerning the allocation of resources, money, and manpower. The analytic methods shown here should help law enforcement and intelligence agencies make these decisions. These tools will also help answer the question, "Have we disabled a terrorist cell, or is it still capable of carrying out attacks?" Written for both specialists and generalists, this study shows us new ways to analyze terrorist data and cell structures. About the author: Professor Jonathan David Farley is in the department of mathematics at the California Institute of Technology.
