商品描述

This textbook provides a comprehensive, yet accessible, introduction to statistical mechanics. Crafted and class-tested over many years of teaching, it carefully guides advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are encountering statistical mechanics for the first time through this - sometimes - intimidating subject. The book provides a strong foundation in thermodynamics and the ensemble formalism of statistical mechanics. An introductory chapter on probability theory is included. Applications include degenerate Fermi systems, Bose-Einstein condensation, cavity radiation, phase transitions, and critical phenomena. The book concludes with a treatment of scaling theories and the renormalization group.

In addition, it provides clear descriptions of how to understand the foundational mathematics and physics involved and includes exciting case studies of modern applications of the subject in physics and wider interdisciplinary areas.

Key Features:

  • Presents the subject in a clear and entertaining style which enables the author to take a sophisticated approach whilst remaining accessible

  • Contains contents that have been carefully reviewed with a substantial panel to ensure that coverage is appropriate for a wide range of courses, worldwide

  • Accompanied by volumes on thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, which can be used in conjunction with this book, on courses which cover both thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書提供了一個全面但易於理解的統計力學入門。經過多年教學的精心編寫和測試，它小心翼翼地引導高年級本科生和研究生，讓他們在第一次接觸統計力學這一有時令人畏懼的主題時，能夠順利進入。這本書在熱力學和統計力學的集合形式上提供了堅實的基礎，並包含了一章關於概率論的入門內容。應用範疇包括簡併費米系統、玻色-愛因斯坦凝聚、腔輻射、相變和臨界現象。書末對縮放理論和重正化群進行了處理。

此外，它清晰地描述了如何理解所涉及的基礎數學和物理，並包括了該主題在物理學及更廣泛的跨學科領域中的現代應用的精彩案例研究。
