Statistics links microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, and
requires for this reason a large number of microscopic elements
like atoms. The results are values of maximum probability or of
averaging. This introduction to statistical physics concentrates on
the basic principles, and attempts to explain these in simple terms
supplemented by numerous examples. The basic principles
concentrated on are the difference between classical and quantum
statistics, the a priori probabilities as related to degeneracies,
the vital aspect of indistinguishability as compared with
distinguishability in classical physics, the differences between
conserved and nonconserved elements (the latter including photons
and phonons), the different ways of counting arrangements in the
three statistics (Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein),
the difference between maximization of the number of arrangements
of elements in these and averaging in the Darwin-Fowler method.
Significant applications to solids, radiation and to electrons in
metals are treated in separate chapters. Finally the Bose-Einstein
distribution is rederived under condensation conditions. Each
chapter concludes with examples and exercises.
