The focus is, in particular, on statistical mechanics, soft matter, probability, chaos, complexity, and models, as well as their interplay. The book features 28 key entries and it is carefully structured so as to allow readers to pursue different paths that reflect their interests and priorities, thereby avoiding an excessively systematic presentation that might stifle interest. While the majority of the entries concern specific topics and arguments, some relate to important protagonists of science, highlighting and explaining their contributions. Advanced mathematics is avoided, and formulas are introduced in only a few cases. The book is a user-friendly tool that nevertheless avoids scientific compromise. It is of interest to all who seek a better grasp of the world that surrounds us and of the ideas that have changed our perceptions. 001437510 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 1, 2021). 001437510 650_0 $$aPhysics$$vPopular works. 001437510 650_0 $$aMathematics$$vPopular works. 001437510 650_6 $$aPhysique$$vOuvrages de vulgarisation. 001437510 650_6 $$aMathématiques$$vOuvrages de vulgarisation. 001437510 655_7 $$aPopular works.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423846 001437510 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437510 7001_ $$aPuglisi, Andrea,$$eauthor. 001437510 7001_ $$aVergni, Davide,$$eauthor. 001437510 7001_ $$aVulpiani, A.,$$eauthor. 001437510 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030725308$$z9783030725303$$w(OCoLC)1240494041 001437510 852__ $$bebk 001437510 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-72531-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437510 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437510$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437510 980__ $$aBIB 001437510 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437510 982__ $$aEbook 001437510 983__ $$aOnline 001437510 994__ $$a92$$bISE
