Summary

In the preceding chapters we have dealt extensively with equilibrium properties of a wide variety of models and materials. We have emphasized the importance of insuring that equilibrium has been reached, and we have discussed the manner in which the system may approach the correct distribution of states, i.e. behavior before it comes to equilibrium. This latter topic has been treated from the perspective of helping us understand the difficulties of achieving equilibrium. The theory of equilibrium behavior is well developed and in many cases there is extensive, reliable experimental information available.
