OverviewThis text not only provides a thorough introduction to statistical physics and thermodynamics but also exhibits the universality of the chain of ideas that leads from the laws of microphysics to the macroscopic behaviour of matter. A wide range of applications teaches students how to make use of the concepts, and many exercises will help to deepen their understanding. Drawing on both quantum mechanics and classical physics, the book follows the pattern od modern research in statistical physics. Volume I discusses in detail the probabilistic description of quantum or classical systems, the Boltzmann-Gibbs distributions, the conservation of energy, and the interpretation of entropy as missing information. Thermodynamics and electromagnetism in matter are also dealt with, as well as the properties of gases, both dilute and condensed, including phase transitions.
