Informationen zum Autor Christopher J. Preston is Professor of Philosophy and Faculty Fellow in Ethics and Public Affairs at the University of Montana. Klappentext The book is an introduction to some of the 1967 1974 results and techniques in classical lattice statistical mechanics. Zusammenfassung 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 background in physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
