"""[A] treat . . . I think that students studying this material would not only find Paul’s treatments easy to follow, but would benefit greatly by learning something of the history that surrounds the development of the analysis and applications of the heat equation.""---Jim Stein, New Books in Mathematics ""Nahin knows how to write a book mixing physics and (a lot of) mathematics and (still) make it readable.""---Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society ""Hot Molecules, Cold Electrons has provided me with a new perspective on what I thought to be a rather tedious topic. . . . I would recommend it to anyone who wants to work out their maths muscles and learn something along the way.""---Louis Ammon, Chemistry World"
