Summary
Mathematical modelling and simulation is an increasingly powerful area of mathematics and computer science, which in recent years has been fuelled by the unprecedented access to larger than ever stores of data. These techniques have an increasing number of applications in the professional and political spheres, and people try to predict the results of certain courses of action as accurately as possible.
Computing Possible Futures explores the use of models on everyday phenome…

Critics Review
A must read for everyone who has ever wondered ‘What If?’ and felt unprepared to rigorously generate possible answers … The chapter on intelligent systems is especially timely, and covers artificial intelligence and machine learning from a fresh perspective. * Jim Spohrer, Director, Cognitive OpenTech at IBM *
Computing Possible Futures provides a compelling approach to systems thinking, as well as an array of tools for exploring what might happen and leading indicators of likely futures. * Denis A. Cortese MD, Foundation Professor, Arizona State University *
The hope is that readers will discuss this book and develop a ‘shared mental model’ of computational modeling in the process, which will greatly enhance their chances of success. * MathSciNet *
