TY - BOOK AU - C. W. Gardiner TI - Handbook of stochastic methods for physics, chemistry and the natural sciences: : third edition SN - 9783540208822 AV - QA274 PY - 1985///] CY - Heidelberg PB - Springer-Verlag KW - Mathematics N2 - This valuable and highly-praised reference collects and explains, in simple language and reasonably deductive form, those formulas and methods and their applications used in modern Statistical Physics, including the foundations of Markov systems, stochastic differential equations, Fokker-Planck equations, approximation methods, chemical master equations, and quantum-mechanical Markov processes. The practical orientation and broad coverage appeal to researchers and academics working in theoretical physics, physical chemistry, and related fields. ER -
