內容介紹
《統計力學·第2版(英文版)》初版於1972年，其內容涵蓋了統計力學的標準內容，敘述清晰詳細，深受讀者歡迎。第2版對第1版的內容作了補充和刪改，重寫了關於相變理論的部分，增加了臨界現象的重正化群理論的內容，並在每章末增加了注釋。《統計力學·第2版(英文版)》每章末都附有習題。這是一本研究生水平的統計力學經典教材。是以作者多年來在幾所大學為研究生授課的講義為藍本而寫成的。目次：1.熱力學的統計基礎；2.系綜理論綱要；3.正則系綜；4.巨正則系綜；5.量子統計；6.簡單氣體的理論；7.理想玻色系統；8.理想費米系統；9.互作用系的統計力學：集團展開方法；10.互作用系的統計力學：量子場論方法；11.相變：臨界性、普適性和標度；12.相變：幾種模型的嚴格（或幾乎嚴格）的結果；13.相變：重正化群方法；14.漲落。附錄6則。
讀者對象:物理學專業的研究生、教師及科研人員。
