A thorough understanding of statistical mechanics depends strongly
on the insights and manipulative skills that are acquired through
the solving of problems. Problems on Statistical Mechanics provides
over 120 problems with model solutions, illustrating both basic
principles and applications that range from solid-state physics to
cosmology. An introductory chapter provides a summary of the basic
concepts and results that are needed to tackle the problems, and
also serves to establish the notation that is used throughout the
book. The problems themselves occupy five chapters, progressing
from the simpler aspects of thermodynamics and equilibrium
statistical ensembles to the more challenging ideas associated with
strongly interacting systems and nonequilibrium processes.
Comprehensive solutions to all of the problems are designed to
illustrate efficient and elegant problem-solving techniques. Where
appropriate, the authors incorporate extended discussions of the
points of principle that arise in the course of the solutions. The
appendix provides useful mathematical formulae.
