作者簡介
作者：(美國)艾里斯 (Richard S.Ellis)
艾里斯，Richard S.Ellis，received his B.A. degree in mathematics and German literature from Harvard University in 1969 and his Ph.D. degree in mathematics from New York University in 1972. After spending three years at Northwestern University, he moved to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Adjunct Professor in the Depart-ment of Judaic and Near Eastern Studies. His research interests in mathematics focus on the theory of large deviations and on applica-tions to statistical mechanics and other areas.
內容簡介
《熵大偏差和統計力學(英文)》主要內容簡介：This book has two main topics: large deviations and equilibrium statistical mechanics. I hope to convince the reader that these topics have many points of contact and that in being treated together, they enrich each other. Entropy,in its various guises, is their common core.
