In this book the author tries to explain simply why the theory of Brownian motion has had such an impact on the statistical foundations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The notable mathematical advances made in the field of stochastic calculus are also introduced in some detail in an attempt to bridge the gap between mathematical physicists, physicists and physical chemists.
