A groundbreaking textbook on twenty-first-century statistical
physics and its applications Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford’s
monumental Modern Classical Physics is now available in five
stand-alone volumes that make ideal textbooks for individual
graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on statistical physics;
optics; elasticity and fluid dynamics; plasma physics; and
relativity and cosmology. Each volume teaches the fundamental
concepts, emphasizes modern, real-world applications, and gives
students a physical and intuitive understanding of the subject.
Statistical Physics is an essential introduction that is different
from others on the subject because of its unique approach, which is
coordinate-independent and geometric; embraces and elucidates the
close quantum-classical connection and the relativistic and
Newtonian domains; and demonstrates the power of statistical
techniques—particularly statistical mechanics—by presenting
applications not only to the usual kinds of things, such as gases,
liquids, solids, and magnetic materials, but also to a much wider
range of phenomena, including black holes, the universe,
information and communication, and signal processing amid noise.
Includes many exercise problems Features color figures, suggestions
for further reading, extensive cross-references, and a detailed
index Optional “Track 2” sections make this an ideal book for a
one-quarter, half-semester, or full-semester course An online
illustration package is available to professors The five volumes,
which are available individually as paperbacks and ebooks, are
Statistical Physics; Optics; Elasticity and Fluid Dynamics; Plasma
Physics; and Relativity and Cosmology.
