商品描述

Risk Analysis in Engineering and Economics is required reading for decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. Drawing on his extensive experience in uncertainty, risk modeling, and analysis, the author covers everything from basic theory and key computational algorithms to data needs, sources, and collection. He emphasizes real-world solutions and the practical use of the methods while carefully examining the advantages and limitations of each to help readers translate the discussed techniques into practice.

The third edition continues and advances the successful approach of this text. It offers:

  • The fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of the subject in a style tailored to meet the needs of students and practitioners of engineering, science, economics, and finance
  • Introduces the fundamentals to facilitate quantification and rational decision-making
  • Enhances the coverage of economic valuation, risk tolerance, and attitude
  • Emphasizes the practical use of these methods through real-world case studies
  • Establishes the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of various methods
  • Targets analysts, researchers, and/or anyone who deals with risk analysis to solve problems

The book is designed to emphasize the applications of the concepts presented. The fundamental concepts are properly balanced in eight well-organized chapters.

The outstanding features of the third edition include:

  • More material on risk management and finance, including enhancements of the coverage of economic valuation, risk tolerance, and risk attitudes in decision-making
  • A renewed emphasis on practical problem solving
  • More diversity in examples from engineering, the sciences, insurance, and so forth
  • Maintains illustrative, complex examples with explicitly presented computations to enable students to reproduce the computations
  • Enhanced exercises to increase the difficulty of some of them

Other books by the author include Numerical Analysis for Engineers, third edition, with Richard H. McCuen, (c) 2026, and Probability, Statistics, and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists, fourth edition, with Richard H. McCuen, (c) 2025, both published by CRC Press.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《風險分析在工程與經濟學中的應用》是針對不確定性下決策所需的必讀書籍。作者根據其在不確定性、風險建模和分析方面的豐富經驗,涵蓋了從基本理論和關鍵計算演算法到數據需求、來源和收集的所有內容。他強調現實世界的解決方案和方法的實際應用,同時仔細檢視每種方法的優缺點,以幫助讀者將所討論的技術轉化為實踐。

第三版延續並推進了本書成功的寫作方式。它提供了:

- 針對工程、科學、經濟學和金融的學生及從業者需求量身定制的基本概念、技術和應用
- 介紹基本原理以促進量化和理性決策
- 增強經濟評價、風險容忍度和態度的內容
- 通過現實案例研究強調這些方法的實際應用
- 確立各種方法的限制、優勢和劣勢
- 針對分析師、研究人員及任何處理風險分析以解決問題的人士

本書旨在強調所呈現概念的應用。基本概念在八個組織良好的章節中得到了適當的平衡。

第三版的突出特點包括:

- 更多有關風險管理和金融的材料,包括對經濟評價、風險容忍度和決策中風險態度的內容增強
- 重新強調實際問題解決
- 來自工程、科學、保險等領域的更多多樣化範例
- 保持插圖和複雜範例,並明確呈現計算,以使學生能夠重現計算
- 增強練習題以提高某些題目的難度
