STATISTICAL MECHANICS FUNDAMENTALS AND MODEL SOLUTIONS 2ED (PB 2021) Paperback

Statistical Mechanics: Fundamentals and Model Solutions, Second Edition has been thoroughly updated with new content, including chapters on the Mayer expansion for classical gases and cluster expansion for lattice models. This edition offers a comprehensive introduction to equilibrium statistical mechanics, aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and physics. The author adopts a fresh approach, clearly outlining basic assumptions and highlighting the importance of the thermodynamic limit and convexity. The book includes various problems and solutions, helping readers understand the role of models in physical systems, and provides detailed discussions and solutions of these models. These models, which have broad applications in both mathematics and physics, are explored in-depth. This updated edition continues to be a highly regarded textbook, offering new problems and solutions for further learning. Author: Professor Teunis C. Dorlas, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland.
