OverviewThis book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related disordered condensed-matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such as percolation, random walks, fractals and spin glasses are explained. Using these concepts, the common aspects of these systems are emphasized, and the current understanding of the glass transition and the structure of glasses is concisely reviewed.
