Synopsis
The laws of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics form one of the most fascinating branches of physics, and this text imparts some of this fascination to the student. The rapid growth in scientific knowledge means that an undergraduate physics course can no longer teach the whole of physics. With this in mind Professor Mandl has written a book which allows great flexibility in its use; it enables readers to proceed by the quickest route to a particular topic, and it enables teachers to select courses differing in length, difficulty and choice of applications. The aim of the text is to explain critically the basic laws of statistical physics and to apply them to a wide range of interesting problems. A reader who has mastered this book should have no difficulties with one of the more advanced treatises or with tackling quite realistic problems. Two substantial improvements have been incorporated into this second edition - firstly much greater prominence has been given to the Gibbs distribution, and secondly the treatment of magnetic work has been completely revised. Other changes include clarification of some of the arguments, a general updating of the textual material and a revision of the bibliography.

C.Phillips Computing for Scientists R. J. Barlow and A. R. BarnettStatistical Physics, Second Edition develops a unified treatment ofstatistical mechanics and thermodynamics, which emphasises thestatistical nature of the laws of thermodynamics and the atomicnature of matter. Prominence is given to the Gibbs distribution,leading to a simple treatment of quantum statistics and of chemicalreactions. Undergraduate students of physics and related scienceswill find this a stimulating account of the basic physics and itsapplications. Only an elementary knowledge of kinetic theory andatomic physics, as well as the rudiments of quantum theory, arepresupposed for an understanding of this book. Statistical Physics,Second Edition features:
- A fully integrated treatment of thermodynamics and statisticalmechanics.
- A flow diagram allowing topics to be studied in differentorders or omitted altogether.
- Optional "starred" and highlighted sections containing moreadvanced and specialised material for the more ambitiousreader.
- Sets of problems at the end of each chapter to help studentunderstanding. Hints for solving the problems are given in anAppendix.
