About the Book: A Textbook of Statistical Mechanics: 2nd Edition
Statistical mechanics is one of the fundamental papers for MSc Physics and MSc
Chemistry courses and this title can be used as a textbook for these courses.
The topics• Thermodynamics, • Microcanonical ensemble, • Canonical ensemble,
Grand canonical ensemble, • Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, • Fermi-Dirac
distribution, • Bose-Einstein distribution for an ideal gas are discussed in a
systematic manner by using simple language. The discussion is extended to
account for interaction among the constituent particles of a real gas and the
phase transitions for a matter. Finally, the kinetic and dynamical theories of
gases are discussed. Each of the
