Theoretical Foundations of Multiscale Modelling aims to address thermodynamical and statistical mechanical foundations of methods commonly employed, highlighting the potential and limitations of each approach. Starting with an overview of the basics of statistical mechanics, the book's chapters illustrate the general theory of molecular modelling, the concepts and methods for the study of complex molecular systems, key strategies employed to perform computational calculations and simulations, recent, cutting-edge tools of the trade, and a selection of case studies that highlight multi-scale modeling, multiple-resolution simulation methods, and machine-learning applications.

Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, this book is an insightful guide for all those learning, applying or interested in exploring multiscale modelling methods for their own work. Multiscale modelling approaches can provide valuable insights to researchers across a broad range of fields, but the interdisciplinary applicability of these approaches means both new learners and experienced researchers may not have a clear understanding of the theoretical and computational fundamentals underpinning these methods.

• Follows a pedogeological path, taking readers from the simplest to the most complex notions
• Rigorously shows the connections between theory and modeling, providing a critical understanding of commonly used models and their level of applicability
• Provides a rich list of case studies to demonstrate the application of theoretical principles in practice
