Statistical Mechanics - Entropy, Order Parameters and Complexity (Paperback): James Sethna Statistical Mechanics - Entropy, Order Parameters and Complexity (Paperback)
James Sethna
R1,260 Discovery Miles 12 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Die vorliegende Schrift behandelt die Kalenderlehre unter bewuBter Ausscheidung aller historischen Betrachtungen. Liegt darin einerseits e: ne Beschrankung, so glaubt der Ver fasser andererseits durch die Loslosung von der vielverschlungenen und daher mit mancherlei Ballast behafteten Entwickelungs geschichte des Kalenderwesens dessen mathematischen Kern sozusagen reinlicher herausschalen zu konnen, als es bei einer historischen Darstellung moglich ware. Die Schrift wendet sich an einen sehr allgemeinen Leser kreis. Sie mochte jedem Gebildeten zuganglich sein, der mathe matischen Oberlegungen einfachster Art Interesse entgegen bringt. Da und dort mag vieHeicht der Historiker bei chrono logischen Untersuchungen aus ihr Nutzen ziehen konnen. Eine besondere Freude ware es dem V erfasser, wenn zuweilen ein Feldgrauer nach dem Schriftchen griffe; weiB er doch aus eigener Erfahrung, wie es Zeiten gibt, in denen der Soldat nach irgendwelcher geistigen Anregung hungert - ganz ab gesehen davon, daB es im Felde von praktischem Interesse sein kann, nach kurzer Dberlegung zu wissen, welche Mondphase einem gegebenen Datum zukommt. Aber dariiber hinaus mochte das Biichlein auch dem an gehenden Mathematiker etwas zu sagen haben, und vor aHem dem Unterricht an hoheren Schulen dienen. Sollte die Schrift einem so verschiedenartigen Leserkreise gerecht werden, so war dies nur moglich durch eine besondere Behandlungsweise des Stoffes: die Darstellung zerfallt gewisser maBen in mehrere "Kreise," deren jeder in sich geschlossen und verstandlich ist. Der engste erfordert kaum mehr, als die Kennt nis der vier Grundrechnungsarten. Der nachste setzt schon Vorwort."
