Introduction to modern statistical mechanics / David Chandler. - First Edition - xiii, 274 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Includes bibliographies.
Chapter 1: Thermodynamics, Fundamentals -- Chapter 2: Conditions for Equilibrium and Stability -- Chapter 3: Statistical Mechanics -- Chapter 4: Non-Interacting (Ideal) Systems -- Chapter 5: Statistical Mechanical Theory of Phase Transitions -- Chapter 6: Monte Carlo Method in Statistical Mechanics -- Chapter 7: Classical Fluids -- Chapter 8: Statistical Mechanics of Non-Equilibrium Systems.
Leading physical chemist David Chandler takes a new approach to statistical mechanics to provide the only introductory-level work on the modern topics of renormalization group theory, Monte Carlo simulations, time correlation functions, and liquid structure. The author provides compact summaries of the fundamentals of this branch of physics and discussions of many of its traditional elementary applications, interspersed with over 150 exercises and microcomputer programs.
