Statistical physics has its origins in attempts to describe the
thermal properties of matter in terms of its constituent particles,
and has played a fundamental role in the development of quantum
mechanics. Based on lectures taught by Professor Kardar at MIT,
this textbook introduces the central concepts and tools of
statistical physics. It contains a chapter on probability and
related issues such as the central limit theorem and information
theory, and covers interacting particles, with an extensive
description of the van der Waals equation and its derivation by
mean field approximation. It also contains an integrated set of
problems, with solutions to selected problems at the end of the
book and a complete set of solutions is available to lecturers on a
password protected website at www.cambridge.org/9780521873420. A
companion volume, Statistical Physics of Fields, discusses non-mean
field aspects of scaling and critical phenomena, through the
perspective of renormalization group.
