Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
by T. Chou, K. Mallick, R. K. P. Zia
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 72
Description:
We review some of the many recent activities on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, focusing on some of the fundamental issues and general aspects. Using the language of stochastic Markov processes, we emphasize general properties of the evolution of configurational probabilities, as described by master equations.

This book is an attempt to cover the gap between what is taught in a conventional statistical mechanics class and between what is necessary to understand current research. The aim is to introduce the basics of many-body physics to a wide audience.
