Brownian motion : fluctuations, dynamics, and applications /
Brownian motion- the incessant motion of small particles suspended in a fluid- is an important topic in statistical physics and physical chemistry. This book studies its origin in molecular scale fluctuations, its description in terms of random process theory and also in terms of statistical mechani...
