商品簡介
This undergraduate text introduces fundamentals of statistical mechanics. Treatment given here is designed to give students an understanding of the topic without being held back by the need to understand complex mathematics. Chapters cover the statistics of distinguishable particles, paramagnets and oscillators, indistinguishable particles and monatomic ideal gases, diatomic ideal gases, quantum statistics, photons and phonons, and Bose-Einstein condensation. The text includes problems and worked solutions. Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is helpful but not essential. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
