Statistical Mechanics

A Short Treatise

More about the book

Focusing on the conceptual foundations of statistical mechanics, the book critically analyzes Boltzmann's contributions, particularly the link between microscopic reversibility and macroscopic irreversibility. It offers students a thorough understanding of key concepts such as equipartition, entropy, and ergodicity. The text also covers topics like Brownian motion, thermodynamic limit phase transitions, phase coexistence, and the statistical mechanics of stationary states, alongside fluctuations and dissipation in chaotic systems.
