Book Description
This volume provides a compact presentation of modern statistical physics at an advanced level. Beginning with questions on the foundations of statistical mechanics all important aspects of statistical physics are included, such as applications to ideal gases, the theory of quantum liquids and superconductivity and the modern theory of critical phenomena. Beyond that attention is given to new approaches, such as quantum field theory methods and non-equilibrium problems.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The author of this book is devoted to the classical approach in statistical physics (usually related to equilibrium physics) – the presentation is given in such a way that reader with basic knowledge about this field can understand many of the presented aspects. […] This book is worth to be recommended.” Zentralblatt für Mathematik
