Kurzbeschreibung

This treatment of time dependent phenomena in condensed matter physics focuses on the development of generalized Langevin equations for treating nonlinear behavior in a wide variety of systems. Conventional ideas of linear response theory and kinetic theory are given in detail.

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung der verallgemeinerten Langevin-Gleichungen zur Beschreibung nichtlinearen Verhaltens verschiedenartigster Systeme. Besonders ausführlich werden die Grundlagen der Hydrodynamik von Fluiden behandelt. Daneben gibt der Autor aber auch den Grundbegriffen der Linear-Response-Theorie und Kinetik ausreichend breiten Raum.

Professor Gene F. Mazenko received his Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971. After working as research associate at Harvard and Stanford he joined the faculty of the Department of Physics of the University of Chicago where he is now a professor. He has served as a visiting professor at the University of California at San Diego and Oxford University and as a consultant for the Argonne National Laboratory. Professor Mazenko is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the author of two textbooks, both published with Wiley, and more than 130 journal articles.
