A foundational academic text in the field of historical methodology, An Introduction to Quantitative Methods for Historians presents a rigorous yet accessible guide to applying statistical and mathematical techniques to historical research. Roderick Floud argues that quantitative analysis is an indispensable tool for the modern historian, demystifying complex methods and making them practical for everyday scholarly use. The book instructs readers in data collection, statistical reasoning, and the interpretation of numerical evidence within historical contexts, bridging the gap between the humanities and social sciences. Written with clarity and academic authority, it remains a classic reference for students and researchers seeking to bring greater analytical precision to their historical inquiries. Now in its Second Edition, the work has been revised and expanded to reflect advances in the field, cementing its status as an essential primer for quantitative history.
