Thermodynamics and introductory statistical mechanics

In this clear and concise introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics the reader, who will have some previous exposure to thermodynamics, will be guided through each of the two disciplines separately initially to provide an in-depth understanding of the area and thereafter the connection between the two is presented and discussed.

  • "A Clear and Concise Introduction to the Basic Theories of-and Linkages Between-Thermodynamics and Statistical MechanicsThermodynamics is concerned with the macroscopic properties of matter. Statistical mechanics, on the other hand, relates and interprets the properties of a macroscopic system in terms of its microscopic units. Thermodynamics and Introductory Statistical Mechanics covers the necessary mathematical tools and computational techniques for understanding both, first providing a separate overview of each and then illustrating and exploring the connections between the two.Placing equal emphasis on fundamentals and applications, this clear and insightful text covers:*Thermodynamics__basic concepts and definitions, laws, general conditions for equilibrium and stability, phase and chemical equilibria*Introductory statistical mechanics__principles, thermodynamic connection, molecular partition function, statistical mechanical applications*Mathematical techniques for highlighting exact and inexact differentials, partial derivatives, Caratheodory's theorem, Legendre transformation, and combinatory analysisSubtleties and conceptual difficulties are addressed head-on, while ten problem sets and solutions reflect and illuminate the content covered. For advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals, Thermodynamics and Introductory Statistical Mechanics provides an introduction and review that is both concise and comprehensive"
