A Random Walk in Physics: Beyond Black Holes and Time-travels
AUTORI: DAVIDE VERGNI, Massimo Cencini , Andrea Puglisi, Angelo Vulpiani
An informal, easy-to-understand account of topics in modern physics and mathematics
The book focuses, in particular, on statistical mechanics, soft matter, probability, chaos, complexity, and models, as well as their interplay. Even avoiding an excessively systematic presentation that might stifle interest, the majority of the entries concern specific topics and arguments, some relate to important protagonists of science, highlighting and explaining their contributions. The book is a user-friendly tool that nevertheless avoids scientific compromise.
