F.瑞夫 （F.Reif），1927年出生于澳大利亚，1953年毕业于哈佛大学，获物理学博士学位。1960-1989年在加州大学伯克利分校物理系任教。除本书外，其另一本代表作Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics 也深受广大读者欢迎，至今仍广为流传。

Volume III entirely devoted to the study of waves. There are water, sound, light, radio, seismic, de Broglie waves and others. Objective is to acquire familiarity with many examples of waves and achieve a realization of the applicability and generality of the concepts. Optics Kit for Waves includes diffraction grating, polarizers, quarter and half-wave plates and filters. (Desc...(展开全部)

E.H.威切曼（Eyvind H.Wichmann），1956年毕业于哥伦比亚大学，获物理学博士学位。自1957年起在加州大学伯克利分校任职。是美国物理学会会员。

A lucid presentation of statistical physics and thermodynamics which develops from the general principles to give a large number of applications of the theory.

Going beyond traditional textbook topics, 'A Modern Course in Statistical Physics' incorporates contemporary research in a basic course on statistical mechanics. From the universal nature of matter to the latest results in the spectral properties of decay processes, this book emphasizes the theoretical foundations derived from thermodynamics and probability theory underlying al...(展开全部)

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)
