This classic text, first published in 1972, is designed for graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. The second edition, published in 1996, incorporated three comprehensive chapters on phase transitions and critical phenomena. This third edition includes new sections on Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate Fermi behavior of ultracold atomic gases, and two new chapters on computer simulation methods and the thermodynamics of the early universe. We have also added new sections on chemical and phase equilibrium, and expanded our discussions of correlations and scattering, quantize Statistics Beale, Paul D. ddc 0 0 ddc 0 530_130000000000000_PAT 0 1760 LPL LPL 2023-08-12 0 530.13 PAT 15653 2023-08-12 00:00:00 2023-08-12 BK 1110 1110
