4.0 out of 5 stars
Detailed, advanced and complete treatment.,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Thermodynamic Formalism: The Mathematical Structure of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics (Cambridge Mathematical Library) (Paperback)
Thermodynamic formalism is an area of mathematics developed to describe physical systems with a large number of components. A combination of advanced physics and mathematics, it is used to describe dynamic systems moving towards equilibrium and quantum mechanics applied to systems. The level of this book is advanced, generally the material would only be suitable for students at the graduate level. Exercises are given at the end of each chapter, although solutions are not provided. Additional background material on the necessary physics is included in a series of appendices.
The treatment of thermodynamic formalism is brief, detailed and complete. I strongly recommend the book as a textbook or study aid in that area. |
