This textbook carefully develops the main ideas and techniques of
statistical and thermal physics and is intended for upper-level
undergraduate courses. The authors each have more than thirty
years' experience in teaching, curriculum development, and research
in statistical and computational physics. Statistical and Thermal
Physics begins with a qualitative discussion of the relation
between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds and incorporates
computer simulations throughout the book to provide concrete
examples of important conceptual ideas. Unlike many contemporary
texts on thermal physics, this book presents thermodynamic
reasoning as an independent way of thinking about macroscopic
systems. Probability concepts and techniques are introduced,
including topics that are useful for understanding how probability
and statistics are used. Magnetism and the Ising model are
considered in greater depth than in most undergraduate texts, and
ideal quantum gases are treated within a uniform framework.
Advanced chapters on fluids and critical phenomena are appropriate
for motivated undergraduates and beginning graduate students. *
Integrates Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations as well
as other numerical techniques throughout the text * Provides
self-contained introductions to thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics * Discusses probability concepts and methods in detail *
Contains ideas and methods from contemporary research * Includes
advanced chapters that provide a natural bridge to graduate study *
Features more than 400 problems * Programs are open source and
available in an executable cross-platform format * Solutions manual
(available only to teachers)
