Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Statistical physics; Mathematical physics

Series: IOP ebooks

This book covers nonequilibrium statistical physics. Part one, aimed at undergraduates, introduces Langevin equations, general stochastic processes, kinetic theory, fluctuation theory, linear response theory, and stochastic thermodynamics. Part two discusses advanced topics and how to build nonequilibrium stochastic models. Applications, including climate systems, information theory, granular and active matter, and non-intuitive phenomena like negative mobility, are explored in the final three chapters.

Key features:

Widely accessible in language and structure. Self-consistent (from the introductory level to advanced problems). Timely (the topics treated in the book cover very recent developments of statistical mechanics). Authored by experts working in the field.

Dr Andrea Puglisi, a Marie Curie fellow at Orsay, Paris (2003–2004) and a postdoc at Sapienza University (2005–2008), has served as director of research at the Institute of Complex Systems of the National Research Council in Rome (CNR-ISC) sine 2021. His expertise are granular materials (theory and experiments), nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and computational cognitive science and has co-authored over 150 scientific papers and two books. Prof. Alessandro Sarracino, postdoc in Rome at ISC - CNR (2010-2013) and in Paris at LPTMC Sorbonne Université (2014-2015), has been researcher at ISC - CNR (2016-2018) and at University of Campania “L. Vanvitelli” (2018-2022). Since 2022, he has been an Associate Professor at the University of Campania. Having co-authored over 70 scientific papers, his expertise includes nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, with a focus on granular and disordered systems, active matter, anomalous transport, and neural networks. Prof. Angelo Vulpiani graduated from Rome University in 1977, and has been a CNR fellow, Assistant Professor, and Associate Professor at various universities. He is currently a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Sapienza University of Rome. His research interests include chaos and complexity in dynamical systems, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, turbulence, transport, and diffusion. He has authored approximately 300 scientific papers and eleven books. In 2021, he received the EPS Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Prize, the 2023 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal, and has been a Fellow of the Institute of Physics since 2004.
