About the Book: Statistical Mechanics, 2ed, (An Indian Adaptation)
Statistical Mechanics by Kerson Huang is a comprehensive textbook on the
framework of statistical mechanics, in which the macroscopic thermodynamic
behavior of complex systems is explained by the application of probability and
statistics to the dynamics of their microscopic constituents. The book is
directed mainly at advanced undergraduate physics majors, graduate students in
physics, as well as researchers in the field. This adaptation of the second
edition of the textbook is a revision that has been developed from detailed
feedback obtained from long-standing users in India.
