基本説明

Transl. from the Japanese by M. Toda, N. Saito. A classic textbook by the famous author R. Kubo.

Full Description

Statistical Physics I discusses the fundamentals of equilibrium statistical mechanics, focussing on basic physical aspects. No previous knowledge of thermodynamics or the molecular theory of gases is assumed. Illustrative examples based on simple materials and photon systems elucidate the central ideas and methods.
