Description for Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions
Hardback. Dynamical scaling is key to our understanding of 'far from equilibrium' relaxation. Where Volume 1 of this set covered the statics and dynamics of transitions into an absorbing state, this one treats relaxation phenomena far from equilibrium and ageing. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 565 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PDE; PHFC; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 165 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1070.
“The importance of knowledge consists not only in its direct practical utility but also in the fact the it promotes a widely contemplative habit of mind; on this ground, utility is to be found in much of the knowledge that is nowadays labelled ‘useless’. ” Bertrand Russel, In Praise of Idleness, London (1935) “Why are scientists in so many cases so deeply interested in their work ? Is it merely because it is useful ? It is only necessary to talk to such scientists to discover that the utilitarian possibilities of their work are generally of secondary interest to them. ...
