Synopsis

This text covers the main applications of statistical mechanics to gases, liquids and solids - including metals and semiconductors. The book opens with discussion of some of the fundamental ideas that lie behind the subject. After a review of the Boltzmann distribution and the partition function there is a comprehensive treatment of gases based on Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics. Coverage of solids is given, followed by the application of statistical mechanics to liquids.
