Description: Nonextensive Entropy: Interdisciplinary Applications Statistical Mechanics Gell-Mann Tsallis_____________________________ Nonextensive Entropy: Interdisciplinary Applications Santa Fe Institute Studies on the Sciences of Complexityby Murray Gell-Mann and Constantino TsallisPublished by Oxford University Press (2004) Condition:Very good 1st Edition Hardcover Book! The binding is tight and all 422 pages within are bright white with NO WRITING, UNDERLINING, RIPS, TEARS, BENDS OR FOLDS, but there is a name on the inside front cover and some high-lighting on approximately 30-35 pages. The covers look perfect, as can be seen in my photos. You will be happy with this one! Always handled and packaged with care! Buy with confidence from a seller who takes the time to show you the details and not use just stock photos. Please check out all my pictures and email with any questions! Thanks for looking! About the Book:This book explores how concepts from thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, particularly entropy maximization and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, can be applied to understand a wide range of complex systems across various scientific fields. These systems often display power-law behaviors, which are indicative of hierarchical, fractal-like structures rather than simple, linear dynamics. The book delves into the theory of nonextensive entropy, an extension of classical entropy concepts, offering a framework for analyzing phenomena that traditional models struggle to explain. It highlights interdisciplinary applications, from physics and biology to economics, social sciences, and even information theory. By examining how entropy-based approaches reveal underlying patterns in these diverse fields, the authors provide a powerful tool for quantitatively describing systems governed by intricate interactions and feedback loops. Edited by Nobel Laureate Murray Gell-Mann and renowned physicist Constantino Tsallis, the text serves as both a theoretical exploration and a practical guide for scientists and researchers. It bridges the gap between abstract mathematical principles and real-world phenomena, illustrating the versatility of entropy-based methods in uncovering the complexities of nature and human systems. This book is a crucial resource for anyone seeking to understand the universal principles underlying complexity in its many forms. About the Author:Murray Gell-Mann, the Robert Andrews Millikan Professor Emeritus of Physics at the California Institute of Technology, was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in physics. In 1984, he helped establish the Santa Fe Institute, where he now works. A longtime director of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Professor Gell-Man served as chairman of its Committee on World Environment and Resources. Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted. I spend lots of time writing up my descriptions and despise it when un-original losers cut and paste my descriptions in as their own.
