Elementary Lectures in Statistical Mechanics

Focusing on classical statistical mechanics and its modern applications, this text emphasizes interacting particles, correlation functions, and time-dependent phenomena. Designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and physical chemistry, it utilizes Gibbs's ensemble formulation while providing explicit algebraic manipulations. The author interweaves formal discussions with concrete models, allowing students to grasp fundamental principles before delving into complex details, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
