Ma's book will almost certainly provide a challenge to the intellects of a growing number of active researchers. The instructor who adopts the book as a primary text will welcome the generous number of problems that appear at the end of each of the 30 chapters.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhysics Today\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"We liked this book when it first came out (and so we said in one of these reviews), and we like it even better now. It has pleasant probabilistic overtones and few pictures (which often in statistical mechanics are not a replacement for a thousand words, but for a lack of proof).\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdvances in Mathematics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a unique and exciting graduate and advanced undergraduate text written by a highly respected physicist who had made significant contributions to the subject. This book conveys to the reader that statistical mechanics is a growing and lively subject. It deals with many modern topics from a physics standpoint in a very physical way. Particular emphasis is given to the fundamental assumption of statistical mechanics S=1n and its logical foundation. Calculational rules are derived without resorting to abstract ensemble theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 576\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.35 x 8.96 x 6.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42105211191431,"sku":"9789971966065","price":221.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/284e1ab2041141f442450ebeddda555a.webp?v=1732432176","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/statistical-mechanics-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
