Introduction -- Vortex Filaments and Where to Find Them -- Statistical Mechanics -- Parallel Filaments -- Curved Filaments -- Quantum Fluids -- Plasmas -- Computational Methods -- Quasi 2-D  Monte Carlo in Deep Ocean Convection -- Conclusion.

This book presents fundamental concepts and seminal results to the study of vortex filaments in equilibrium. It also presents new discoveries in quasi-2D vortex structures with applications to geophysical fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics in plasmas.  It fills a gap in the vortex statistics literature by simplifying the mathematical introduction to this complex topic, covering numerical methods, and exploring a wide range of applications with numerous examples. The authors have produced an introduction that is clear and easy to read, leading the reader step-by-step into this topical area. Alongside the theoretical concepts and mathematical formulations, interesting applications are discussed. This combination makes the text useful for students and researchers in mathematics and physics.
