Kurzbeschreibung

This book examines the latest developments in statistical mechanics, a branch of physical chemistry and physics that uses statistical techniques to predict the properties and the behavior of chemical and physical systems. It begins with a review of some of the essential concepts and then discusses recent developments in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. It covers liquids, phase transitions, renormalization theory, Monte Carlo techniques, and chaos.

Dieser Band informiert Sie umfassend und systematisch über neueste Entwicklungen und aktuelle Methoden auf dem Gebiet der statistischen Mechanik. Sie finden Angaben zum statistischen Gleichgewicht, zur Renormierungstheorie, zu Chaos, Zellularautomaten und verallgemeinerten Langevin-Gleichungen der Nichtgleichgewichts-Statistik sowie zu oszillierenden chemischen Reaktionen. Der Text wird durch Fortran-Quelltexte sowie zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben ergänzt. (11/97)
