商品描述

The science of statistical mechanics is concerned with defining the thermodynamic properties of a macroscopic sample in terms of the properties of the microscopic systems of which it is composed. The aim of this book is to provide a clear, logical, and self-contained treatment of equilibrium statistical mechanics starting from Boltzmann's two statistical assumptions, and to present a wide variety of applications to diverse physical assemblies. The coverage is enhanced and extended through an extensive set of accessible problems. It contains an appendix that provides an introduction to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics through the Boltzmann equation and its extensions. This book assumes introductory courses in classical and quantum mechanics, as well as familiarity with multi-variable calculus and the essentials of complex analysis. Some knowledge of thermodynamics is assumed, although the book starts with an appropriate review of that topic. The targeted audience is first-year graduate students, and advanced undergraduates, in physics, chemistry, and the related physical sciences. The goal of this text is to help the reader obtain a clear working knowledge of the very useful and powerful methods of equilibrium statistical mechanics and to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the more advanced texts.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

統計力學的科學旨在根據其組成的微觀系統的性質來定義宏觀樣本的熱力學性質。本書的目標是提供一個清晰、邏輯且自成體系的平衡統計力學處理,從玻爾茲曼的兩個統計假設出發,並呈現多種應用於各種物理系統的案例。內容透過一系列易於接觸的問題得以增強和擴展。本書包含一個附錄,通過玻爾茲曼方程及其擴展介紹非平衡統計力學。本書假設讀者具備古典力學和量子力學的入門課程知識,以及多變數微積分和複變分析的基本知識。雖然本書從適當的熱力學主題回顧開始,但也假設讀者對熱力學有一定的了解。本書的目標讀者為物理、化學及相關物理科學的第一年研究生和高年級本科生。本書旨在幫助讀者獲得平衡統計力學非常有用且強大的方法的清晰工作知識,並增進對更高級文本的理解和欣賞。
