Summary: The text "Scientific Methods of Urban Analysis" discusses various scientific methods, such as group theory and probabilistic models, applied to urban analysis. It also highlights the importance of understanding theory and applications in urban systems. It pays tribute to French mathematician Évariste Galois, who developed the Galois Theory of Groups before his untimely death at the age of 20. The book emphasizes the need for proper education and referencing original works to master the material. It covers topics such as linear programming, optimization models, and nonlinear traffic and land use analysis. The book is structured into five parts, including the scientific method, predictive and estimating models, optimization models, and simulation and gaming. It also discusses urban information systems. While emphasizing the application of scientific methods, the text also delves into non-scientific knowledge like common sense and intuition. The book cites various unpublished works, such as dissertations and reports, and closes with a bibliography of relevant sources for further reading.
