One very appealing aspect of Brownian motion, as this book illustrates, is that the subject connects a broad variety of topics, including thermal physics, hydrodynamics, reaction kinetics, fluctuation phenomena, statistical thermodynamics, osmosis and colloid science. The book is based on a set of lecture notes that the authors used for an undergraduate course at the University of Utrecht, Netherland. It aims to provide more than a simplified qualitative description of the subject, without getting bogged down in difficult mathematics. Each chapter contains exercises, ranging from straightforward ones to more involved problems, addressing instances from (thermal motion in) chemistry, physics and life sciences. Exercises also deal with derivations or calculations that are skipped in the main text. The book offers a treatment of Brownian motion on a level appropriate for bachelor/undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, soft matter and the life sciences. PhD students attending courses and doing research in colloid science or soft matter will also benefit from this book. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aFluids 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aThermodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050 606 $aFluid- and Aerodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aFluids. 615 14$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aFluid- and Aerodynamics. 676 $a547.13 700 $aPhilipse$b Albert P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0833868 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300161103321 996 $aBrownian Motion$92521523 997 $aUNINA
