Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, Second Edition provides a complete resource for researchers, students and lecturers with an interest in mathematical physics. It enables readers to access basic information on topics peripheral to their own areas, to provide a repository of the core information in the area that can be used to refresh even the experienced researcher’s memory, and aid teachers in directing students to entries relevant to their course-work. The impressive amount of information in this work has been distilled, organized and presented as a complete reference tool to the user and a landmark to the body of knowledge that has accumulated in this domain. It also is a stimulus for new researchers working in mathematical physics - or in areas using the methods originating from work in mathematical physics - by providing them with focused high-quality background information." Facilitates researchers to find solutions to common problems between these two highly specialized and often fragmented disciplinesCovers both foundational topics in core areas of knowledge as well as more cutting-edge topics and methodologiesFully searchable and interlinked format allows readers to gain a broad overview of the subject and methodsChapters will follow a MRW templated structure including elements which assist the user to understand the terminologies and methodsThis edition and subsequent editions to be arranged thematically, rather than A-Z. This helps broaden the topics covered and Editors to identify gaps or additional content needed. It also helps users to find topics and related articles within the Encyclopedia
