As an introductory account of the theory of phase transitions and
critical phenomena, Elements of Phase Transitions and Critical
Phenomena reflects lectures given by the authors to graduate
students at their departments and is thus classroom-tested to help
beginners enter the field. Most parts are written as self-contained
units and every new concept or calculation is explained in detail
without assuming prior knowledge of the subject. The book
significantly enhances and revises a Japanese version which is a
bestseller in the Japanese market and is considered a standard
textbook in the field. It contains new pedagogical presentations of
field theory methods, including a chapter on conformal field
theory, and various modern developments hard to find in a single
textbook on phase transitions. Exercises are presented as the
topics develop, with solutions found at the end of the book, making
the text useful for self-teaching, as well as for classroom
learning.
This superb new book is one of the first publications in recent years to provide a broad overview of this interdisciplinary field. Most of the book is written in a self contained manner, assuming only a general knowledge of statistical mechanics and basic probabilty theory . It provides the reader with a sound introduction to the field and to the analytical techniques necessary to follow its most recent developments
