Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Thermodynamics
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This book is an impressive contribution to the available selection of graduate statistical mechanics texts. ... The book is fun to browse because it contains many appealing informational nuggets. It also has an authoritative air and one can comfortably delve deeply into a particular section without feeling lost. ... this is an excellent book with a consistently high level of pedagogy throughout. I enthusiastically recommend it for any serious student of statistical physics.' Sidney Redner, Profess of Physics at Boston University
'This book contains both thermodynamics (macroscopic) and statistical mechanics (microscopic) which makes it ideal for teaching and research purposes. The 'problems' and 'exercises' sections should be invaluable for postgraduate studies.' Materials World
Book Description
This graduate-level book presents a self-contained exposition of fundamental topics in modern equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach between the macroscopic (thermodynamic) and microscopic (statistical) points of view. One notable feature is the large number of problems. Simple applications are given in 71 exercises, while more elaborate challenges are contained in 47 problems, some of which are useful for student projects.
