This Book deals with the basic principles and techniques of a subject whose importance is growing rapidly in view of the advances being made, both experimentally and theoretically, in the study of nonequilibrium phenomena-in particular, in statistical physics, chemical physics, biological physics, complex systems, and several other areas. The level is accessible to senior undergraduate students and post-graduate students. The presentation is quite self-contained, and the choice of topics enables the student to form a coherent picture of the subject.
