description Providing a broad toolkit of analytical methods, this book shows how asymptotics, when coupled with numerical methods, becomes a powerful way to acquire a deeper understanding of the techniques used in probability and statistics. It describes core ideas in statistical asymptotics; covers Laplace approximation, the saddle-point method, and summation of series; and, includes vignettes of various people from statistics and mathematics whose ideas have been instrumental in the development of the subject.
