Covering the elementary aspects of the physics of phases
transitions and the renormalization group, this popular book is
widely used both for core graduate statistical mechanics courses as
well as for more specialized courses. Emphasizing understanding and
clarity rather than technical manipulation, these lectures
de-mystify the subject and show precisely "how things work."
Goldenfeld keeps in mind a reader who wants to understand why
things are done, what the results are, and what in principle can go
wrong. The book reaches both experimentalists and theorists,
students and even active researchers, and assumes only a prior
knowledge of statistical mechanics at the introductory graduate
level.Advanced, never-before-printed topics on the applications of
renormalization group far from equilibrium and to partial
differential equations add to the uniqueness of this book.
