This textbook offers an advanced undergraduate or initial graduate
level introduction to topics such as kinetic theory, equilibrium
statistical mechanics and the theory of fluctuations from a modern
perspective. The aim is to provide the reader with the necessary
tools of probability theory and thermodynamics (especially the
thermodynamic potentials) to enable subsequent study at advanced
graduate level. At the same time, the book offers a bird's eye view
on arguments that are often disregarded in the main curriculum
courses. Further features include a focus on the interdisciplinary
nature of the subject and in-depth discussion of alternative
interpretations of the concept of entropy. While some familiarity
with basic concepts of thermodynamics and probability theory is
assumed, this does not extend beyond what is commonly obtained in
basic undergraduate curriculum courses.
