The skills needed to master NIR are physics, statistics, chemometrics, and optics. 

Kinetics is a macroscopic theory. Dynamics is particle physics. Statistical theory relates both fields and goes beyond statistical thermodynamics. It is not the aim of this book to enter the Field of statistical theory. However, a number of its concepts are needed for a correct understanding of kinetic parameters and for constructing appropriate models. In this sense, the following sections will be presented.

It appears to be applicable not only to one or several particular examples of decomposition, but to virtually all of the most popular classes of reactions considered as models. The kinetic and mechanistic analysis within the framework of a thermochemical approach is based on fundamental concepts of molecular physics (statistical mechanics) and chemical thermodynamics.

Next, let us review the history of theoretical chemistry before the development of the Schrodinger equation (Asimov 1979), because it is also significant to consider the historical orientation of quantum chemistry. This history is basically divided into three stages genesis, thermal physics-statistical-mechanics stage, and early quantum mechanics stage. Below are brief reviews of each stage.

People who now study the liquid state are working in many different fields solution chemistry, solvated electrons, condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, spectroscopy, computer simulation, electrical engineering, and so on. Unfortunately, communication between people in different fields suffers from many jargon barriers. The International System of Units (SIU) is being developed to accommodate all fields of science and engineering so that all workers will have common ground in the units and quantities of their languages. This makes communication much easier. 

Nanomechanics, a branch of nanoscience, focuses on the fundamental mechanical properties of physical systems at the nanometer scale. It has emerged on the crossroads of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, materials science, and quantum chemistry. Moreover, it provides a scientific foimdation for nanotechnology. Often, it is looked upon as a branch of nanotechnology, that is, an applied area with a focus on the mechanical properties of engineered nanostructures and nanosystems that include nanoparticles, nanopowders, nanowires, nanorods, nanoribbons, nanotubes, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), nanoshells, nanomembranes, nanocoatings, nanocomposites, and so on. 

In the same spirit, the concept of complexity has been taken under consideration for the investigation of electron density functions. Complexity has appeared in many fields of scientific inquiry e.g., physics, statistics, biology, computer science and...

At least three subject areas make use of stochastic sampling statistical physics, statistics and geostatistics. Each area has its own favourite methods, partly a result of the different application areas, but, one suspects, largely due to cultural reasons. There are many texts in these areas, so the following only gives an outline and some selected references. A relevant review may be found in [55]. 

In practice, different thermometer approaches are used at very high temperatures one uses the laws of thermal radiation (refer to Chapter 6.6) at average temperatures— the thermal expansion of hydrogen or helium at constant pressure and at low temperatures— the characteristics of solids according to the laws of quantum physical statistics (refer to Chapter 9.3) are used.
