统计力学-第2版 内容简介
for this new edition, each chapter was revised and improved,
typos corrected and figures added, some in response to many helpful
comments on the first edition. we especially thank professor milton
w. cole for his correction of a factor 2 in the specific heat of a
1d hard-core bose gas. additionally, solutions to some
representative problems have been included in an appendix.
but, more t.han mere revision and expansion of the material, it
is the wit and knowledge of a new co-author that has greatly
improved the present text. thanks to this couaboration the topics
of renormalization group and monte-carlo numerical techniques could
be treated on a par with more conventional elements of statistical
thermodynamics. the addition of these important subjects and the
expansion of topics that previously had been just many-body theory
and phase transitions. we present this new edition in the hope it
will better serve the contemporary student while offering to the
instructor a wider, more useful choice of lecture materials.
