{"product_id":"introduction-to-statistical-physics-joo-paulo-casquilho-9781107053786","title":"Introduction to Statistical Physics","description":"Rigorous and comprehensive, this textbook introduces undergraduate students to simulation methods in statistical physics. The book covers a number of topics, including the thermodynamics of magnetic and electric systems; the quantum-mechanical basis of magnetism; ferrimagnetism, antiferromagnetism, spin waves and magnons; liquid crystals as a non-ideal system of technological relevance; and diffusion in an external potential. It also covers hot topics such as cosmic microwave background, magnetic cooling and Bose-Einstein condensation. The book provides an elementary introduction to simulation methods through algorithms in pseudocode for random walks, the 2D Ising model, and a model liquid crystal. Any formalism is kept simple and derivations are worked out in detail to ensure the material is accessible to students from subjects other than physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo縊 Paulo Casquilho, Paulo Ivo Cortez Teixeira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107053781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107053786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Jo縊 Paulo Casquilho","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924037697791,"sku":"9781107053786","price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d854ae90-c6a1-47b2-907d-f70be4a75fa5.jpg?v=1681068110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-statistical-physics-joo-paulo-casquilho-9781107053786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
