商品描述
This textbook presents an introduction to the use of probability in physics, treating introductory ideas of both statistical physics and of statistical inference, as well the importance of probability in information theory, quantum mechanics, and stochastic processes, in a unified manner. The book also presents a harmonised view of frequentist and Bayesian approaches to inference, emphasising their complementary value. The aim is to steer a middle course between the "cookbook" style and an overly dry mathematical statistics style. The treatment is driven by real physics examples throughout, but developed with a level of mathematical clarity and rigour appropriate to mid-career physics undergraduates. Exercises and solutions are included.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本教科書介紹了機率在物理學中的應用,統一地處理了統計物理和統計推斷的基本概念,以及機率在資訊理論、量子力學和隨機過程中的重要性。書中還呈現了頻率主義和貝葉斯方法在推斷上的和諧觀點,強調它們的互補價值。目標是在「食譜」式的風格和過於枯燥的數學統計風格之間找到一個中庸之道。整體內容以真實的物理例子為驅動,但以適合中階物理本科生的數學清晰度和嚴謹性進行發展。書中包含練習題和解答。
