This book deals with the basic principles, techniques, and advances being made–both experimentally and theoretically–in the study of nonequilibrium phenomena, particularly in statistical physics, chemical physics, biological physics, complex systems, and several other areas. Accessible to senior undergraduate students and post-graduate students, this self-contained book offers a choice of topics that enables them to form a coherent picture of the subject. Coverage includes equations and formulas for calculating distribution, diffusion, and dynamic mobility under different conditions. The book concludes with a generalized Langevin equation and the power spectrum of pulse sequences.
