The book, drawing from a number of disciplines such as probability theory, earthquake seismology and earthquake engineering, provides a modern, computational approach to understanding the underlying concepts of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA). Written entirely in Mathematica, it seamlessly integrates explanatory text, interactive exercises and dynamic walk-through examples. Unlike most traditional textbooks on the subject, the book focuses on the concepts rather than the procedures of PSHA and uses the computational power of Wolfram Language to enhance understanding through interactive exploration. This format allows the reader to experiment with real-time calculations, test "what if?" scenarios and visualise key probabilistic concepts. Key features of the book include: • A concept-oriented approach that prioritises understanding over procedural steps. • The use of simple, intuitive "toy problems" to develop key ideas before applying them to real-world scenarios. • Multiple perspectives on PSHA concepts to accommodate readers with different backgrounds in probability theory, earthquake seismology and engineering seismology. • Interactive content based on Mathematica that allows the user to change parameters and immediately see the impact on seismic hazard calculations. • A modular structure that makes the book accessible to both beginners and experienced practitioners, whether for structured learning or for reference. You can download Wolfram Notebooks of the full textand the supplementarymaterials with the code for generating the figures. In case you don't have Mathematica installed, you can read and interact with the notebook using the free Wolfram Player.
