Some ten years ago, when completing with J.-B. Zuber a previous text on Quantum Field Theory, the senior author was painfully aware that little mention was made that methods in statistical physics and
Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern
We apologize for the considerable delay in departure. Anyone who knows what has been happening to British universities will need no further explanation, and will share our sadness. (b) The book is mea
This book is intended to provide a reasonable selr-contained account of a major portion of the general theory of rings and modules suitable as a text for introductory and more advanced graduate course
While using this book in classes, we found that our canonical reader can learn nonquantum physics rather quickly. Indeed, equipped with geometric intuition and a facility with abstract arguments, he i
To the Teacher. This book is designed to introduce a student to some of the important ideas of algebraic topology by emphasizing the relations of these ideas with other areas of mathematics. Rather th
THIS book continues the series of English translations of the revised and augmented volumes in the Course of Theoretical Physics, which have been appearing in Russian since 1973.The English translatio
This book has its origins in two short courses given by the author in Bologna and Torino, Italy during the Fall of 1985. At that time, connections between statistical physics and the Jones polynomial

his book is based on one-semester courses given at Harvard in 1984, at Brown in 1985, and at Harvard in 1988. It is intended to be, as the title suggests, a first introduction to the subject. Even so,
This revision of the 1983 second edition ofElliptic Partial Differential Equations of Second Order corresponds to the Russian edition, published in 1989, in which we essentially updated the previous v
TWENTY-FIVE years have passed since the writing of this volume in its first edition.Such a long interval has inevitably made necessary a fairly thorough revision and expansion of the book for its seco
THIS final volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics deals with physical kinetics, in the wide sense of the microscopic theory of processes in systems not in statistical equilibrium. .In contrast to
