The field of mathematical psychology, which emerged in the 1950s, encompasses a rich blend of psychological theorizing and applied mathematics driven by substantive problems in psychology. Its early success was largely attributed to the publication of the groundbreaking Handbook of Mathematical Psychology in the 1960s. Since then, the psychological sciences have continued to expand, leading to significant advancements in both traditional psychological domains and the applications of computational sciences to psychology. In keeping with the legacy of the original Handbook, the New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology serves as a comprehensive and up-to-date reflection of the current state of the field. The second volume, in particular, delves into the mathematical and computational foundations of recent developments over the past half-century, while the first volume focuses on areas of mathematics that are essential for constructing models of cognitive phenomena and decision-making. Moreover, the book emphasizes the role of measurement in psychology, highlighting its significance in understanding human behavior and mental processes. By exploring these diverse topics, the New Handbook of Mathematical Psychology provides a valuable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the intersection of mathematics and psychology.
