Description
Statistical Physics by Franz Mandl provides a unified treatment of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, focusing on the statistical nature of thermodynamic laws and the atomic nature of matter. This edition builds upon the author's previous work, offering a comprehensive account of basic physics and its applications. The book assumes an elementary knowledge of kinetic theory and atomic physics, as well as quantum theory, making it accessible to undergraduate students of physics and related sciences. It features a fully integrated treatment of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, along with optional sections containing more advanced material for the more ambitious reader. With sets of problems at the end of each chapter to aid student understanding, Statistical Physics is an ideal resource for those looking to develop a deeper understanding of these fundamental concepts.
