An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics (Second Edition) by Robert H. Swendsen
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8.20MB
Overview: – Complete guide to the derivation of thermodynamic identities using Jacobians to simplify the process.
– Most books on thermodynamics are written for engineers or chemists; this book is written for physicists.
– Use of computer similuations, an element not used often in past thermodynamics texts, is explored due to its importance in today’s world.
– Theoretical integration of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
New to this Edition:
– Several chapters have been expanded and new ones added in order to incorporate the latest developments in the field.
– Massieu functions {Legendre transforms of the entropy) have been introduced to enable a consistent discussion of negative temperatures.
– A new numerical method for calculating the properties of a Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases has been added.
