Lectures on statistical mechanics [electronic resource] / by Berthold-Georg Englert.

By: Englert, Berthold-Georg, 1953-.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Singapore : World Scientific, [2020]Description: 1 online resource (xix, 287 p.).ISBN: 9789811224584; 9811224587.Subject(s): Statistical mechanicsGenre/Form: Electronic books.DDC classification: 530.13 Online resources: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.
Contents:
Preface -- Glossary -- Review of selected topics in thermodynamics -- Statistical ensembles -- Ideal gases -- Systems with interaction -- Perturbation theory -- Real gases -- Stochastic processes -- Exercises with hints -- Index.
Summary: "These lecture notes cover Statistical Mechanics at the level of advanced undergraduates or postgraduates. After a review of thermodynamics, statistical ensembles are introduced, then applied to ideal gases, including degenerate gases of bosons and fermions, followed by a treatment of systems with interaction, of real gases, and of stochastic processes. The book offers a comprehensive and detailed, as well as self-contained, account of material that can and has been covered in a one-semester course for students with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and a solid background in classical mechanics"--Publisher's website.
