Statistical Physics of Spin Glasses and Information Processing

'... very enjoyable to read and often opening the reader's eye to new possibilities. This is a perfect introduction to the field for students and researchers who want to study problems in information science, including the use of physics in information processing' ButsuriThis superb new book is one of the first publications in recent years to provide a broad overview of this interdisciplinary field. Most of the book is written in a self contained manner, assuming only a general knowledge of statistical mechanics and basic probabilty theory . It provides the reader with a sound introduction to the field and to the analytical techniques necessary to follow its most recent developments.
