Statistical mechanics deals with systems in which chaos and
randomness reign supreme. The current theory is therefore firmly
based on the equations of classical mechanics and the postulates of
probability theory. This volume seeks to present a unified account
of classical mechanical statistics, rather than a collection of
unconnected reviews on recent results. To help achieve this, one
element is emphasised which integrates various parts of the
prevailing theory into a coherent whole. This is the hierarchy of
the BBGKY equations, which enables a relationship to be established
between the Gibbs theory, the liquid theory, and the theory of
nonequilibrium phenomena. As the main focus is on the complex
theoretical subject matter, attention to applications is kept to a
minimum. The book is divided into three parts. The first part
describes the fundamentals of the theory, embracing chaos in
dynamic systems and distribution functions of dynamic systems.
Thermodynamic equilibrium, dealing with Gibbs statistical mechanics
and the statistical mechanics of liquids, forms the second part.
Lastly, the third part concentrates on kinetics, and the theory of
nonequilibrium gases and liquids in particular. Audience: This book
will be of interest to graduate students and researchers whose work
involves thermophysics, theory of surface phenomena, theory of
chemical reactions, physical chemistry and biophysics.
