Scientists are increasingly finding themselves engaged in research
problems that cross the traditional disciplinary lines of physics,
chemistry, biology, materials science, and engineering. Because of
its broad scope, statistical mechanics is an essential tool for
students and more experienced researchers planning to become active
in such an interdisciplinary research environment. Powerful
computational methods that are based in statistical mechanics allow
complex systems to be studied at an unprecedented level of detail.
This book synthesizes the underlying theory of statistical
mechanics with the computational techniques and algorithms used to
solve real-world problems and provides readers with a solid
foundation in topics that reflect the modern landscape of
statistical mechanics. Topics covered include detailed reviews of
classical and quantum mechanics, in-depth discussions of the
equilibrium ensembles and the use of molecular dynamics and Monte
Carlo to sample classical and quantum ensemble distributions,
Feynman path integrals, classical and quantum linear-response
theory, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics, the Langevin and
generalized Langevin equations, critical phenomena, techniques for
free energy calculations, machine learning models, and the use of
these models in statistical mechanics applications. The book is
structured such that the theoretical underpinnings of each topic
are covered side by side with computational methods used for
practical implementation of the theoretical concepts.
