Granular materials are an integral part of our everyday life. They are also the base material for most industrial processing techniques. The highly dissipative nature of the particle collisions means energy input is needed in order to mobilize the grains. This interplay of dissi…
The book is an introduction to some of the 1967–1974 results and techniques in classical lattice statistical mechanics. It is written in the language of probability theory rather than that of physics, and is thus aimed primarily at mathematicians who might have little or no back…
"The third edition of Random Matrices contains many additions that reflect recent developments in the field and convey a greater experience with results previously formulated. For example, the theory of skew-orthogonal and bi-orthogonal polynomials is for the first time explaine…
This book provides a challenging and stimulating introduction to the contemporary topics of complexity and criticality, and explores their common basis of scale invariance, a central unifying theme of the book." "The book includes a generous number of figures and exercises, and …
Requiring only an elementary knowledge of classical mechanics and some rudimentary ideas from quantum theory, this textbook provides a clear, instructive and highly readable introduction to thermal physics.
