This book covers the
following topics: Statistical physics is an unfinished and highly active part of
physics.Principles of statistical mechanics, Thermodynamic quantities, The Gibbs
Distribution, Ideal gas, Statistical ensembles, Fluctuations, Stochastic
Processes, Non-Ideal Gases, Phase Equilibrium, Continuous Phase Transitions and
Transport phenomena.
This note covers the following
topics: Recursion Method: Concepts, Probability: Intuition, Ambiguity, Absurdity
and Puzzles, Elements of Probability Theory with Applications, Random Variables,
Stochastic Processes, Brownian Motion, Linear Response and Equilibrium Dynamics,
Zwanzig-Mori Formalism.
This note offers
an introduction to probability, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics.
Numerous examples are used to illustrate a wide variety of physical phenomena
such as magnetism, polyatomic gases, thermal radiation, electrons in solids, and
noise in electronic devices.
A comprehensive and detailed
account of the subject. Topics covered includes: Fundamentals of Statistical
Mechanics , Classical Gases, Quantum Gases, Classical Thermodynamics, Phase
Transitions.
