Introduction to the Theory of Soft Matter From Ideal Gases to Liquid Crystals /
This book presents the theory of soft matter to students at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. It provides a basic introduction to theoretical physics as applied to soft matter, explaining the concepts of symmetry, broken symmetry, and order parameters; phases and phase transiti...
