Description for New Directions in Statistical Physics
Hardback. Statistical Physics has been applied in a range of fields, including thermodynamics, magnetic phase transitions, and order/disorder transformations. Providing an insight into the application of statistical physics to finance, biology, and pattern recognition, this book covers the breakthroughs, as well as the theory and computation. Editor(s): Wille, Luc T. Num Pages: 381 pages, 159 black & white illustrations, 22 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 26. Weight in Grams: 840.
Statistical physics addresses the study and understanding of systems with many degrees of freedom. As such it has a rich and varied history, with applications to 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. Thus, recent years have seen these methods applied in many unexpected directions, three of which are the main focus of this volume. These applications have been remarkably successful and have enriched the financial, biological, and engineering literature. Although reported in the physics ... Read more
