Statistical Thermodynamics: With Applications to the Life Sciences
Ben-Naim, Arieh
The book presents a clear and unique approach to statistical thermodynamics based on Shannon's measure of information, and provides applications to problems of interest in the life sciences. There is no other book which presents the fundamentals of statistical thermodynamics on Information theory, yet also includes many applications which usually do not feature in such textbooks. Contents: Fundamentals: Introduction Shannon's Measure of Information Application of SMI to Systems of Non-Interacting Particles Applications: Thermodynamics of Ideal Gases Systems of Adsorbed Non-Interacting Ligands Cooperativity in Binding Processes One-Dimensional Lattice Models Theory of a One-Dimensional Pure and Simple Fluid Theory of 1D Dimensional Mixtures A Study of Water and Aqueous Solutions in 1D
