New Directions in Statistical Physics (eBook, PDF)

Econophysics, Bioinformatics, and Pattern Recognition

Redaktion: Wille, Luc T.

Beschreibung

New Directions in Statistical Physics provides a unique insight into the application of statistical physics to finance, biology and pattern recognition. This exciting field is becoming of increasing importance and has been applied in a range of fields, including thermodynamics, magnetic phase transitions, and order/disorder transformations, to name just a few. However, the tools of statistical physics can be profitably used to investigate any system with a large number of components. This book covers the latest breakthroughs in a consistent manner, at a level accessible to undergraduates, yet with enough attention to the theory and computation to satisfy the professional researcher.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The tools and techniques of statistical physics are increasingly ... . This volume nicely illustrates some of these accomplishments through an eclectic mix of eighteen articles by some of the key initiators of the new directions. ... The editor's aim was to put together a volume ... . he has been highly successful in this endeavor. Beyond reflecting on progress to date, the articles in many cases point the way to future developments." (Murray Batchelor, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (6), 2004)
