This book covers the
following topics: Statistical physics is an unfinished and highly active part of
physics.Principles of statistical mechanics, Thermodynamic quantities, The Gibbs
Distribution, Ideal gas, Statistical ensembles, Fluctuations, Stochastic
Processes, Non-Ideal Gases, Phase Equilibrium, Continuous Phase Transitions and
Transport phenomena.
The book is
addressed to mathematicians physicists of any level. Topics covered includes:
The Ensemble of Microscopic Subsystems, Real gases, The Quantum Statistical
Physics, Ensemble of microscopic subsystems, Quantum gases.
This note offers
an introduction to probability, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Numerous examples are used to illustrate a wide variety of physical phenomena
such as magnetism, polyatomic gases, thermal radiation, electrons in solids, and
noise in electronic devices.
A comprehensive and detailed
account of the subject. Topics covered includes: Fundamentals of Statistical
Mechanics , Classical Gases, Quantum Gases, Classical Thermodynamics, Phase
Transitions.
