Physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory)
Hardback. The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is an area of science that serves to relate the properties of physical objects to those of their constituent particles. This book provides an approach, based on a 'macrostatistical mechanics', which contrasts with the standard microscopic treatments of many-body problems. Num Pages: 304 pages, 9 line illus. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 19. Weight in Grams: 571.
