Statistical mechanics is concerned with defining the thermodynamic
properties of a macroscopic sample in terms of the properties of
the microscopic systems of which it is composed. The previous book
Introduction to Statistical Mechanics provided a clear, logical,
and self-contained treatment of equilibrium statistical mechanics
starting from Boltzmann's two statistical assumptions, and
presented a wide variety of applications to diverse physical
assemblies. An appendix provided an introduction to non-equilibrium
statistical mechanics through the Boltzmann equation and its
extensions. The coverage in that book was enhanced and extended
through the inclusion of many accessible problems. The current book
provides solutions to those problems. These texts assume only
introductory courses in classical and quantum mechanics, as well as
familiarity with multi-variable calculus and the essentials of
complex analysis. Some knowledge of thermodynamics is also assumed,
although the analysis starts with an appropriate review of that
topic. The targeted audience is first-year graduate students and
advanced undergraduates, in physics, chemistry, and the related
physical sciences. The goal of these texts is to help the reader
obtain a clear working knowledge of the very useful and powerful
methods of equilibrium statistical mechanics and to enhance the
understanding and appreciation of the more advanced texts.
