This concise introduction to statistical mechanics is geared toward students and professionals concerned with any branch of solid state physics or low temperature physics. It presents the principles, along with examples showing their generality, with simplicity and clarity. It also reviews issues of critical interest to physicists. 1963 edition. Reprint of the John Wiley & Sons, New York and London, 1963 edition.
Foundations of Statistical Mechanics: A Deductive Treatment by Oliver Penrose Starting with primary physical assumptions and their idealization in the form of postulates, this text examines the consequences of these postulates, concluding with an analysis of entropy. Solutions. 1970 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.
Principles of Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics by D. F. Lawden 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. 1987 edition.
Algebraic Methods in Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory by Dr. Gérard G. Emch This systematic algebraic approach offers a careful formulation of the problems' physical motivations as well as self-contained descriptions of the mathematical methods for arriving at solutions. 1972 edition.
Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Mechanics by Rodney J.
