Statistical Mechanics Made Simple: A Guide for Students and Researchers by Daniel C. Mattis
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 mb
Overview: This book is an elaboration of the author’s lecture notes in a graduate course in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The original notes supplemented topics lacking in traditional texts. In its present augmented version the book may be used as the sole or primary text in a one-semester course in thermodynamics/statistical mechanics or as an adjunct text in a two-semester course.Statistical mechanics is the application of physics or chemistry at finite temperature T and can encompass as many topics involving these disciplines as one wishes. As much as the quality of presentation, it is the choice of topics that distinguishes from one another the scores of textbooks with the word “statistical” or “statistics” in the title. The present book is intended to respond to the curiosity of the reader about fundamental principles. It shows in detail how one solves the problems that arise in connection with these principles. There are some 50 problems scattered throughout the text and a similar number of illustrations. All the mathematics is self-contained, including the development of field-theoretic methods in the later, more difficult, chapters. The emphasis is not just on the topics, but on the mathematics used to understand them and on the methods of solution.
