Front Matter The Mathematical Language of Digital History Metahistory: Computational Models for History History Through AI Back Matter
Description

This book offers a first step towards getting machines to understand history in terms of analysing historical narratives. It uses computational intelligence and history texts as keys to ask different questions than have been asked about our human history so far.

The book is divided into three main parts. The first part discusses the mathematical language of history, the second part uses simple models to analyse historical laws written in mathematical language, and the third part discusses the impact of general Large Language Models (LLMs) on the study of history.
