# State Space Models: A Modern Approach This is an interactive textbook on state space models (SSM) using the [JAX Python library](https://github.com/google/jax). Some of the content is covered in other books such as {cite}`Sarkka13` and {cite}`vol2`. However, we go into more detail, and focus on how to efficiently implement the various algorithms in a "modern" computing environment, exploiting recent progress in automatic differentiation and parallel computing. ```{tableofcontents} ```
