Mathematical Approaches in Studying Stress

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