  Polymer Physics: Phenomenology of Polymeric Fluid Simulations is a review
volume that I am writing. I anticipate it will take a while to complete, so I
am supplying individual chapters when each is more-or-less completed.
  This Chapter considers collective coordinates and collective models for
isolated polymer chains. Collective coordinates can be effective tools for
isolating aspects of polymer motion that are less obvious if only the Cartesian
coordinates of the individual atoms or monomers are viewed. I treat Fourier,
Rouse, and Haar wavelets as suppliers of collective coordinates. One of the
sets of collective coordinates that i consider, the Rouse coordinates, follows
naturally from the Rouse model of polymer dynamics. We therefore consider the
Rouse model as well as its more important predecessor, the Kirkwood-Riseman
model. Haar wavelets are noteworthy because they allow one to isolate
individual regions of a polymer
