All living organisms consist of soft matter. For this reason
alone, it is important to be able to understand and predict the
structural and dynamical properties of soft materials such as polymers,
surfactants, colloids, granular matter and liquids crystals. To achieve
a better understanding of soft matter, three different approaches have
to be integrated: experiment, theory and simulation. This book focuses
on the third approach — but always in the context of the other two.
