About The Book
Goldenfeld’s book on phase transitions and the renormalization group is an essential read for graduate students and researchers alike. The book covers the fundamental aspects of statistical mechanics, with a strong focus on clarity and understanding rather than complex technical manipulations. It is widely utilized in core graduate courses on statistical mechanics and specialized courses, making complex topics accessible and comprehensible. Goldenfeld expertly explains not only the "how" but also the "why" behind phase transitions, offering deep insights into this pivotal area of physics. Additionally, the book introduces advanced topics like the application of the renormalization group to systems far from equilibrium and partial differential equations, which are not typically found in other textbooks. With its clear approach, this book is an invaluable resource for both experimentalists and theorists aiming to grasp the intricacies of statistical mechanics.
