| Abstract
|
:
|
This classic text combines thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and kinetic theory in a single unified presentation of thermal physics. The three-part treatment covers the principles of statistical thermodynamics, equilibrium statistics of special systems, and kinetic theory, transport coefficients, and fluctuations. Numerous problems with solutions.
