This text developed from materials the author has used in a one-semester course on elementary statistical mechanics. It assumes readers have had courses in calculus and physical chemistry. Its purpose is not only to give students a deeper understanding of thermodynamics and the principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics, but also to introduce them to the modern topics of Monte Carlo sampling, renormalization group theory, and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. By frequent use of simplified models, the author has kept the mathematics in the text relatively simple while presenting many of the sophisticated ideas in the field. His approach is to deal ...

Reviews for Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics
'accessible and stimulating...I strongly suspect that this book will prove popular with students and teachers alike.' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'The text is clear and spare and addresses the latest developments in statistical mechanics in a manner an undergraduate could readily understand.' New Scientist 'a breezy and enthusiastic guide with quite solid content.'Jerome K. Percus 'All in all,this ... Read more
