5 Preface This book emerged from a lecture I held in the 1995/96 winter term in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Freiburg, Germany. It represents the adaptation of the content of a one-semester course in order to meet the present-day demands in education. After much contact with physicists in industrial and science laboratories and in neighboring scientific disciplines, I came to the conclusion that present-day education, with its predominant orientation towards deterministic methods in the description of physical phenomena, is not weh suited to the needs of the jobs the students are likely to enter after their education. Statistical questions become more and more important in the various fields of research and developement, and in the framework of statistical physics a student should learn more than statistical mechanics alone. Of course, the quantity of material one believes one should impart to the students is much more than what can be taught within one course. Therefore, I have included several extra topics but I have tried to focus on those which in my opinion are most relevant for a student of statistical physics, and which might also serve as a first step towards a deeper understanding. I would like to thank everybody who assisted me in word and deed during the developement of this book. First, I would like to mention Mrs. Fotschki, who transformed the weekly supply of manuscripts reliably and always in time into a 'IEX file, as weh as Dr. M. Koch, who worked the formulas and pictures into these files with great care. The preparation of an almost complete manuscript during the time of one course required intensive work, which could only have been completed successfuhy by an effective and good cohaboration. The weekly discussions with my cohaborators, especially Dr. H. P. Breuer, and the discussions with participants of the lectures helped to clarify many questions. Since the manuscript of the weekly lecture was available to the students at the end of each week via the Internet, I received many comments and suggestions from listeners and readers. I had many discussions with my colleagues, in particular with Prof. Dr. H. R. Lerche and Prof. Dr. H. Römer, concerning the representation of certain subjects.
6 VI Preface I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. T. Filk. Not only did he do excellent work in translating the German version of the manuscript but with his sensible comments he also helped to eliminate a number of notational and stylistic inconsistencies. I hope that this book awakens in many readers an interest in methods for handling uncertain information. Freiburg, January 1998 Jose! Honerkamp
