After a review of thermodynamics, statistical ensembles are introduced, then applied to ideal gases, including degenerate gases of bosons and fermions, followed by a treatment of systems with interaction, of real gases, and of stochastic processes. The book offers a comprehensive and detailed, as well as self-contained, account of material that can and has been covered in a one-semester course for students with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and a solid background in classical mechanics UR - https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/reader/10.1142/9789811224584_fmatter UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63111987-lectures-on-statistical-mechanics#CommunityReviews ER -
