Introduction to Statistical Physics

Rate this book
This textbook covers the basic principles of statistical physics and thermodynamics. The text is pitched at the level equivalent to first-year graduate studies or advanced undergraduate studies. It presents the subject in a straightforward and lively manner. After reviewing the basic probability theory of classical thermodynamics, the author addresses the standard topics of statistical physics. The text demonstrates their relevance in other scientific fields using clear and explicit examples. Later chapters introduce phase transitions, critical phenomena and non-equilibrium phenomena.

Los últimos capítulos medio que me los speedrunee porque no necesitaba leerlos para mi examen, pero leí el 80 del libro totalmente a conciencia así q lo considero terminado. Me parece bastante completo, a veces te provoca un par de dolores de cabeza porque omite muchas cuentas no triviales pero como ventaja tiene que las secciones son cortas y con pocas paredes de texto que a los físicos nos dan terrible paja. Así q bastante bien.

کتاب معمولی ای هست و بنظرم کتب بهتری در زمینه مکانیک آماری می‌توان پیدا کرد.
من به شخصه مکانیک آماری را خیلی ازین کتاب یاد نگرفتم کتاب رایف و جزوات دکتر کریمی پور رو مطالعه کردم و به دیگران هم پیشنهاد میکنم.
همچنین یک مشکل دیگری که کتاب داره مسائل کم و سخت اون هست.
