second edition

Coming very soon …!  due out February 2027 – pre-order now at Springer.

As well as minor updates throughout there is a new part entitled (provisionally) “Going large — computation, big data, and AI“, containing three new chapters:

  • Empirical and Simulation Methods — beyond the fixed menu
  • Big Data — seeing through the forest
  • AI — intelligence but not as we know it

See detailed table of contents, including chapter by chapter glossary links (more resources soon).

How the book looked after re-reading it … now I know how PhD students feel when they see their thesis full of sticky notes!
