Statistical physics is a core component of most undergraduate (and some post-graduate) physics degree courses. It is primarily concerned with the behavior of matter in bulk-from boiling water to the superconductivity of metals. Ultimately, it seeks to uncover the laws governing random processes, suc[...]
Focuses on thermodynamics, especially the kinetics of phase transitions. This book covers stochastic processes, with a treatment of the Langevin equation. It provides exercises and a solutions manual for qualifying instructors.[...]
