Risk Analysis in Engineering and Economics de Bilal M. Ayyub

Risk Analysis in Engineering and Economics

Autor Bilal M. Ayyub
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 aug 2026
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: 
1. 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 
2. Introduces the fundamentals to facilitate quantification and rational decision-making
3. Enhances the coverage of economic valuation, risk tolerance, and attitude
4. Emphasizes the practical use of these methods through real-world case studies
5. Establishes the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of various methods
6. 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, etc.
  • Maintains the 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 ©2026 and Probability, Statistics, and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists, fourth edition, with Richard H. McCuen, © 2025, both published by CRC Press.

Recenzii

Praise for the First Edition
"This book ambitiously tackles risk analysis from the ground up. … an excellent reference for individuals studying in a variety of risk-related disciplines. … enlightening [examples]…attractive to students approaching risk studies from a variety of substantive backgrounds. … Advanced students are likely to find Ayyub's treatments…exceedingly valuable."
—Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2004, Vol. 99, No. 466
"… a good textbook and reference. The mix of engineering and economics is well balanced. … Valuable for students after college and useful for professional engineers."
—Technometrics, August 2004, Vol. 46, No. 3
Praise for the Second Edition
"… one of a kind in the market. … I am not aware of books that cover the subject in as comprehensive a manner."
