An Introductory Course of Statistical Mechanics
By: Pal, Palash B.
Material type:
BookPublisher: New Delhi Narosa Publishing House 2011Description: xxiii;372 9.5x7 pb.ISBN: 9788173198649.Subject(s): Statistical mechanicsDDC classification: 530.13 Summary: "An Introductory Course on Statistical Mechanics" introduces the subject to readers without any prior knowledge of the subject. In most textbooks, Statistical Mechanics appears to be a branch of Condensed Matter Physics. This book has a different perspective. It gives great importance to relativistic systems, thus paving the way to various applications of Statistical Mechanics to Astrophysics and Cosmology. Non-relativistic systems and their applications to Condensed Matter Physics are not abandoned either: there are discussions on gases, liquids and magnetic systems. The book ends with one chapter on Phase Transitions and one on Boltzmann equation. Overall, the book presents Statistical Mechanics from a broader perspective encompassing many branches of Physics.
