Chance in Physics: Foundations and Perspectives: Lecture Notes in Physics, cartea 574

Editat de J. Bricmont, D. Dürr, M.C. Galavotti, G. Ghirardi, F. Petruccione, Nino Zanghi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iul 2001
This selection of reviews and papers is intended to stimulate renewed reflection on the fundamental and practical aspects of probability in physics. While putting emphasis on conceptual aspects in the foundations of statistical and quantum mechanics, the book deals with the philosophy of probability in its interrelation with mathematics and physics in general. Addressing graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics togehter with philosophers of science, the contributions avoid cumbersome technicalities in order to make the book worthwhile reading for nonspecialists and specialists alike.
