Elementary Statistical Physics. Provides the Foundation for a Working Knowledge of Several Areas of Statistical Mechanics

This book is a fundamental and modern treatment of statistical mechanics, including stochastic processes and transport theory. Throughout the presentation, the Gibbs method of ensembles is used, with detailed discussions of its applications. Problems and examples are given which are applicable to many scientific fields - nuclear physics, electrial engineering, solid state physics, metallurgy and chemistry - and are presented in a simple, clear, and understandable manner.
