DESCRIPTION:Towards a non-equilibrium thermodynamics: macroscopic fluctuati
 on theory – Part I\n\nFar from equilibrium behavior is ubiquitous. Indeed 
 most of the processes that characterize energy flow occur far from equilib
 rium. These range from very large systems\, such as weather patterns or oc
 ean currents that remain far from equilibrium owing to an influx of energy
 \, to biological structures. Away-from-equilibrium processes occur on time
  scales ranging from nanoseconds to millennia. Despite the pervasiveness o
 f non-equilibrium systems and processes\, our current understanding is far
  from complete. The macroscopic fluctuation theory deals with diffusive sy
 stems for which provides natural non-equilibrium thermodynamic functionals
  whose singularities are associated with phase transitions. It is based on
  a single formula for the probability of joint fluctuations of thermodynam
 ic variables and currents and its properties under time reversal. It has b
 een tested in models exactly solvable. These lectures will cover some gene
 ral principles\, predictions and applications\, in particular phase transi
 tions typical of non-equilibrium and thermodynamic transformations between
  stationary states.\n
