内容简介
It is rare that a scientist is simultaneously powerful in mathematical analysis and in physical insight. Lars Onsager was one such person. His research ranged over mathematics, physics and chemistry. His Collected Works with Commentary is a very impressive volume edited by Hemmer, Holden and Kjelstrup Ratkje, recently published by World Scientific. It vividly exhibits the range of Onsager's contributions and brings out also Onsager's distinctive style as a person and as a professor. I highly recommend it to every theoretical chemist and every theoretical physicist. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
