Statistical physics is a core component of most undergraduate and some postgraduate physics degree courses. It is primarily concerned with the behaviourof matter in bulkc. Ultimately it seeks to uncover the laws governing randomprocesses such as the snow on your TV screen. This essential new textbookguides the reader quickly and critically through a statistical view of thephysical world including a wide range of physical applications to illustratethe methodology. It moves from basic examples to more advanced topics such asbroken symmetry and the BoseEinstein equation. To accompany the text theauthor a renowned expert in the field has written a Solutions ManualInstructors Guide available free of charge to lecturers who adopt this bookfor their courses. Introduction to Statistical Physics will appeal tostudents and researchers in physics applied mathematics and statistics. «
