Statistical Physics

Statistical Physics presents the basics of statistical mechanics to the beginner, and at the same time develops the subject with well-chosen examples and worked-out problems right up to the point where the student can take up an advanced course with confidence. It is self-contained, and combines thoroughness with lucidity of presentation. Statistical Physics i£ developed as applied Quantum Mechanics, with particular emphasis on exploring the classical limit of what is sometimes referred to as Quantunl Statistical Mechanics.
