Book Title: Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Author: Radu Balescu

Selection Statement:

In my research, I deal with mechanical systems at the level of atoms and molecules. For such problems, statistical physics, both equilibrium and non-equilibrium theory, play a pivotal role. This book presents many ideas in statistical mechanics, based on the constituting particles. Many of the dimension reduction ideas motivated me to develop some of the methods in my research.
