A thorough exploration of the universal principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, this volume takes an applications-oriented approach to a multitude of situations arising in physics and engineering. Students can supplement their understanding by working through the text's numerous exercises. 1987 edition.
An Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics by Terrell L. Hill Four-part treatment covers principles of quantum statistical mechanics, systems composed of independent molecules or other independent subsystems, and systems of interacting molecules, concluding with a consideration of quantum statistics.
Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Mechanics by Rodney J. Baxter Exploration of two-dimensional lattice models examines basic statistical mechanics, Ising models, spherical models, ice-type models, corner transfer matrices, and elliptic functions. 1982 edition, with author's 2007 update on subsequent developments.
Introductory Statistical Mechanics for Physicists by D. K. C. MacDonald This concise introduction is geared toward those concerned with solid state or low temperature physics. It presents the principles with simplicity and clarity, reviewing issues of critical interest. 1963 edition.
