This concise study of random processes offers graduate students and research physicists a survey encompassing both the relationship of Brownian movement with statistical mechanics and the problem of irreversible processes. It features a survey of Brownian movement; correlation, frequency spectrum, and distribution function; and noise in electric currents. 1962 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1962.
Elementary Statistical Physics by Charles Kittel Graduate-level text covers properties of the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions; the interrelated subjects of fluctuations, thermal noise, and Brownian movement; and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. 1958 edition.
Statistical Mechanics: Principles and Selected Applications by Terrell L. Hill Standard text covers classical statistical mechanics, quantum statistical mechanics, relation of statistical mechanics to thermodynamics, plus fluctuations, theory of imperfect gases and condensation, distribution functions and the liquid state, more.
