Problems in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics (Dover Books on Physics) by Peter T. Landsberg (PDF)

Description

Well respected and widely used, this volume presents problems and full solutions related to a wide range of topics in thermodynamics, statistical physics, and statistical mechanics. The text is intended for instructors, undergraduates, and graduate students of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Twenty-eight chapters, each prepared by an expert, proceed from simpler to more difficult subjects. Similarly, the early chapters are easier than the later ones, making the book ideal for independent study.Subjects begin with the laws of thermodynamics and statistical theory of information and of ensembles, advancing to the ideal classical gases of polyatomic molecules, non-electrolyte liquids and solutions, and surfaces. Subsequent chapters explore imperfect classical and quantum gas, phase transitions, cooperative phenomena, Green function methods, the plasma, transport in gases and metals, Nyquist’s theorem and its generalizations, stochastic methods, and many other topics.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐not a comprehensive book of practice problems, as i thought it would be. it only uses a few problems to explain general concepts. hard to follow and not what i was looking for.

⭐Although more than 10 years old, this remains a firm favourite with many people as witnessed by the fact that it has been translated into both Russian and Japanese. The approach via problems and solutions is very helpful in this context.
