In each generation, scientists must redefine their fields:
abstracting, simplifying and distilling the previous standard
topics to make room for new advances and methods. Sethna's book
takes this step for statistical mechanics - a field rooted in
physics and chemistry whose ideas and methods are now central to
information theory, complexity, and modern biology. Aimed at
advanced undergraduates and early graduate students in all of these
fields, Sethna limits his main presentation to the topics that
future mathematicians and biologists, as well as physicists and
chemists, will find fascinating and central to their work. The
amazing breadth of the field is reflected in the author's large
supply of carefully crafted exercises, each an introduction to a
whole field of study: everything from chaos through information
theory to life at the end of the universe.
