Description
The Langevin and Generalised Langevin Approach To The Dynamics Of Atomic, Polymeric And Colloidal Systems is concerned
with the description of aspects of the theory and use of so-called random processes to describe the properties of atomic, polymeric and
colloidal systems in terms of the dynamics of the particles in the system. It provides derivations of the basic equations, the development
of numerical schemes to solve them on computers and gives illustrations of application to typical systems.
Extensive appendices are given
to enable the reader to carry out computations to illustrate many of the points made in the main body of the book.
Audience
For graduate students, teachers and research workers who are concerned with describing the dynamics of surfaces, polymers and colloids
