Statistical thermodynamics
Material type: TextPublication details: New York Dover 1989Description: 95p. illISBN: 0486661016 Subject(s): Statistical thermodynamics | Thermodynamics | Statistical mechanics DDC classification: 536.71 Summary: In this concise volume, one of the founder of quantum mechanics and one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the century (Nobel laureate, 1933) attempts to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.) The level of discussion is relatively advanced. As Professor Schrödinger remarks in the Introduction: "It is not a first introduction for newcomers to the subject, but rather a 'repetitorium.' The treatment of those topics which are to be found in every one of a hundred text-books is severely condensed; on the other hand, vital points which are usually passed over in all but the large monographs (such as Fowler's and Tolman's) are dealt with at greater level."Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
