内容简介统计物理是利用物质基本组成成份来研究物质的整体性质,它在量子力学发展中发挥了重要的作用。本书根据作者20多年来在麻省理工学院讲授粒子统计物理的课程讲义编写而成,主要讲解统计物理学的基本概念和处理实际问题的方法。在讲述完热力学基础后,作者专门讲解了常用数学工具如概率论和中心极限定理。本书内容还包括相互作用粒子,van der Waals方程及其推导,经典和量子统计力学以及信息论中的相关问题。本书附有习题,并在全书结尾处给出部分答案。阅读本书时可以参考作者的另外一本专著《场的统计物理》,主要介绍利用重整化群等非平均场方法研究标度律和临界现象。目次:热力学;概率论;气体动力学理论;经典统计力学;相互作用的粒子;量子统计力学;理想量子气体;部分习题解答;索引。
