This book can serve as an introduction to students interested in learning the techniques used in developing
mathematical models of physical phenomenon in polymers; or it can furnish the background information
to the experienced professional desiring to broaden his/her knowledge of polymers. The senior author
presented material in this book to students interested in learning the fundamental mathematics underlying many
areas of polymer physics and in lectures to audiences with varying backgrounds in polymer physics. Too many
times, the basic equations are presented in final form from either lack of space or the assumption that the derivation
is widely disseminated and does not require repetition. A wide variety of topics are covered, from the statistical physics
and thermodynamics of polymers, to the optical and electrical behavior of polymers, as well as spectroscopy techniques
for polymers.
Of interest to upper level undergraduates and graduate students in chemistry, physics, materials science and
engineering; scientists and engineers interested in polymers.
