Spin glasses are magnetic materials. Statistical mechanics, a subfield of physics, has been a powerful tool to theoretically analyze various unique properties of spin glasses. This book is one of the first publications in the theoretically analyze various unique properties of spi interdisciplinary field. It provides readers with a sound introduction to the field and to the analytical techniques necessary to follow its most recent developments.

The present book provides the reader with a general perspective of an interdisciplinary field between statistical physics and information sciences/engineering. It is virtually the only book on the subject, except for a collection of papers published fourteen years ago. The field is expanding quite rapidly, and this self-contained presentation may be expected to acquire a wide audience in physics and engineering.

As an introductory account of the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, this book reflects lectures given by the authors to graduate students at their departments and is thus classroom-tested to help beginners enter the field. Most parts are written as self-contained units and every new concept or calculation is explained in detail without assuming prior knowledge of the subject. The book significantly enhances and revises a Japanese version which is a bestseller in the Japenese market and is considered a standard textbook in the field. It contains new pedagogical presentations...
