STATISTICAL PHYSICS (PB 2024) Paperback

This book provides an introduction to the core concepts of statistical physics, followed by applications to specific problems and advanced topics chosen for their educational or practical significance. Special emphasis is placed on presenting the foundational principles of statistical physics and discussing key physical examples. Throughout the textbook, theoretical results are compared with relevant experimental data, supported by illustrative curves. This approach is made possible by the wide range of phenomena covered in statistical physics, including examples from fields such as classical and quantum liquids, condensed matter, liquid crystals, magnetic systems, astrophysics, atomic and molecular physics, superconductivity, and more. The book is designed for graduate students (MSc and PhD) and for those teaching introductory or advanced courses in statistical physics.
