Statistical physics has its origins in attempts to describe the thermal properties of matter in terms of its constituent particles, and has played a fundamental role in the development of quantum mechanics. Based on lectures taught by Professor Kardar at MIT, this textbook introduces the central concepts and tools of statistical physics. It contains a chapter on probability and...(展开全部)

While many scientists are familiar with fractals, fewer are familiar with scale-invariance and universality which underly the ubiquity of their shapes. These properties may emerge from the collective behaviour of simple fundamental constituents, and are studied using statistical field theories. Initial chapters connect the particulate perspective developed in the companion volu...(展开全部)

Acclaimed by "American Scientist" as "a classic text on field theoretic methods in statistical physics," this comprehensive introduction to the many-body theory and its ramifications was written by three internationally known Russian physicists. It constitutes an invaluable guide to physicists, mathematicians, and others involved in statistical and solid state physics.
