Statistical thermodynamics and the related domains of statistical
physics and quantum mechanics are very important in many fields of
research, including plasmas, rarefied gas dynamics, nuclear
systems, lasers, semiconductors, superconductivity, ortho- and
para-hydrogen, liquid helium, and so on. Statistical
Thermodynamics: Understanding the Properties of Macroscopic Systems
provides a detailed overview of how to apply statistical principles
to obtain the physical and thermodynamic properties of macroscopic
systems. Intended for physics, chemistry, and other science
students at the graduate level, the book starts with fundamental
principles of statistical physics, before diving into
thermodynamics. Going further than many advanced textbooks, it
includes Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac statistics, and Lattice
dynamics as well as applications in polaron theory, electronic gas
in a magnetic field, thermodynamics of dielectrics, and magnetic
materials in a magnetic field. The book concludes with an
examination of statistical thermodynamics using functional
integration and Feynman path integrals, and includes a wide range
of problems with solutions that explain the theory.

In this book, author Gary Wysin provides an overview of model
systems and their behaviour and effects, and is intended for
advanced students and researchers in physics, chemistry and
engineering interested in confined magnetics. It is also suitable
as an auxiliary text in a class on magnetism or solid state
physics. Previous physics knowledge is expected, along with some
basic knowledge of classical electromagnetism and electromagnetic
waves for the latter chapters.
