Book
Description
Concepts, methods and techniques of
statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in
the natural sciences, biology and economics in an attempt to
understand and model the large variability and risks of
phenomena.
This is the
first textbook written by a well-known expert that provides a
modern up-to-date introduction for workers outside statistical
physics.
The
emphasis of the book is on a clear understanding of concepts
and methods, while it also provides the tools that can be of
immediate use in applications.
Although
this book evolved out of a course for graduate students, it
will be of great interest to researchers and engineers, as
well as to post-docs in geophysics and meteorology.
