Statistical Physics - 2nd Ed - F. Mandl - Wiley Trade paperback. By F. Mandl. F. MANDL; R.J. ELLISON; D.J. SANDIFORD. Statistical Physics. Undergraduate students of physics and related sciences will find this a stimulating account of the basic physics and its applications. Statistical Physics Second Edition by F. Mandl Publisher: Wiley Year: 1988, Second Edition ISBN: 0471915335 Description: Trade Paperback, VG condition Condition: Edge wear, creasing to cover, no underlining, no highlighting, solid binding Pages: 385 pages. In this book, the author develops a unified treatment of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, which emphasizes the statistical nature of the laws of thermodynamics and the atomic nature of matter. Undergraduate students of physics and related sciences will find this a stimulating account of the basic physics and its applications. Only an elementary knowledge of kinetic theory and of atomic physics, as well as the rudiments of quantum theory, are presupposed for an understanding of this book. An excellent range of problems is included, with a section of hints for solving them. In this second edition, the author makes two major changes. He gives much more prominence to the Gibbs distribution, leading to a simpler and better treatment of quantum statistics and a fuller discussion of chemical reactions. Secondly, he presents a new, illuminating analysis of magnetic systems. The Manchester Physics Series is a collection of textbooks suitable for an undergraduate degree course in Physics. Each book has been individually developed to provide a reliable, self-contained text for an up-to-date course. Each book can be used independently of the other books in the series, while the organization and scope of each book allows considerable flexibility in the selection and arrangement of different courses.
