Generalised Thermostatistics cuts through the traditionalism of many statistical physics texts by offering a fresh perspective and seeking to remove elements of doubt and confusion surrounding the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two parts - the first covering topics from conventional statistical physics, whilst adopting the perspective that statistical physics is statistics applied to physics. The second developing the formalism of non-extensive thermostatistics, of which the central role is played by the notion of a deformed exponential family of probability distributions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in a clear, consistent, and deductive manner, the book focuses on theory, part of which is developed by the author himself, but also provides a number of references towards application-based texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by a leading contributor in the field, this book will provide a useful tool for learning about recent developments in generalized versions of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, especially with respect to self-study. Written for researchers in theoretical physics, mathematics and statistical mechanics, as well as graduates of physics, mathematics or engineering. A prerequisite knowledge of elementary notions of statistical physics and a substantial mathematical background are required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275142029463,"sku":"9781447157427","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781447157427.webp?v=1769282017","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/generalised-thermostatistics-9781447157427","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
