Statistical Physics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides a compact presentation of modern statistical physics at an advanced level, from the foundations of statistical mechanics to the main modern applications of statistical physics. Special attention is given to new approaches, such as quantum field theory methods and non-equilibrium problems.

This second, revised edition is expanded with biographical notes contextualizing the main results in statistical physics.

Rezensionen

"The author of this book is devoted to the classical approach in statistical physics (usually related to equilibrium physics) - the presentation is given in such a way that reader with basic knowledge about this field can understand many of the presented aspects. [...] This book is worth to be recommended." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
