The new second edition has been rearranged and considerably expanded to give a balanced account both of basic theory and of the advances of the past decade. It presents the main ideas of modern liquid state theory in a way that is both pedagogical and self-contained. The book should be accessible to graduate students and research workers, both experimentalists and theorists, who have a good background in elementary mechanics.
- Compares theoretical deductions with experimental results
- Molecular dynamics
- Monte Carlo computations
- Covers ionic, metallic, and molecular liquids
