The treatment itself is self-contained and concentrates on an understanding of the physical ideas, without requiring a high level of mathematical sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book adopts a straightforward quantum approach to statistical averaging from the outset. The initial part of the book is geared towards explaining the equilibrium properties of a simple isolated assembly of particles. Thus, several important topics, for example an ideal spin-1\/2 solid, can be discussed at an early stage. The treatment of gases gives full coverage to Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTowards the end of the book the reader is introduced to a wider viewpoint and new chapters are included on chemical thermodynamics, interactions in, for example, liquid helium-3 and helium-4, and statistics under extreme conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281192411287,"sku":"9781402059742","price":4366.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781402059742.webp?v=1769298508","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/statistical-physics-9781402059742","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
