  This book teaches undergraduates in physical science how to understand soft matter: fluids containing polymers, colloidal particles or surfactant molecules. These fluids are playing an increasing role in biotechnology and in basic science. The book gives a unified account of their distinctive properties such as their large viscosities or their weak elasticity using basic statistical principles.
