Description for Statistical Theory of Heat
Hardback. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 233 pages, 46 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 163 x 241 x 19. Weight in Grams: 530.
Scheck's textbook starts with a concise introduction to classical thermodynamics, including geometrical aspects. Then a short introduction to probabilities and statistics lays the basis for the statistical interpretation of thermodynamics. Phase transitions, discrete models and the stability of matter are explained in great detail.Thermodynamics has a special role in theoretical physics. Due to the general approach of thermodynamics the field has as a bridging function between several areas like the theory of condensed matter, elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The classical thermodynamics describes predominantly averaged properties of matter, reaching from few particle systems and state of matter to stellar ... Read more
