Gives a systematic overview on the scientific fundamentals of crystal growth from the classical phenomenological description to the recent thoeretical contributions of statistical physics such as studies on surface roughening and on the pattern formation in the diffusion-limited growth. The book emphasizes physical concepts as well as mathematical rigour, and is intended to serve as lecture notes for postgraduate courses.
