Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Written by the winner of the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, this groundbreaking 1962 monograph is an essential work for researchers and graduate students. Topics include the Liouville equation, anharmonic solids, Brownian motion, weakly coupled gases, scattering theory and short-range forces, approach to equilibrium in ionized gases, general kinetic equations, and other topics.

Contraportada:

Ilya Prigogine won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contributions to non-equilibrium thermodynamics. This groundbreaking 1962 monograph, written for researchers and graduate students in this field, was his first book-length contribution to this subject.
Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and chemistry, the treatment begins with examinations of the Liouville equation, anharmonic solids, and Brownian motion. Subsequent chapters explore weakly coupled gases, scattering theory and short-range forces, distribution functions and their diagrammatic representation, the time dependence of diagrams, the approach to equilibrium in ionized gases, and statistical hydrodynamics. Additional topics include general kinetic equations, general H-theorem, quantum mechanics, and irreversibility and invariants of motion. Appendices, a bibliography, list of symbols, and an index conclude the text.
