520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc This invaluable textbook is an introduction to statistical physics that has been<br/>written primarily for self-study. It provides a comprehensive approach to the<br/>main ideas of statistical physics at the level of an introductory course, starting<br/>from the kinetic theory of gases and proceeding all the way to Bose–Einstein<br/>and Fermi–Dirac statistics. Each idea is brought out with ample motivation<br/>and clear, step-by-step, deductive exposition. The key points and methods are<br/>presented and discussed on the basis of concrete representative systems, such as<br/>the paramagnet, Einstein’s solid, the diatomic gas, black body radiation, electric<br/>conductivity in metals and superfluidity.<br/>The book is written in a stimulating style and is accompanied by a large number<br/>of exercises appropriately placed within the text and by self-assessment problems<br/>at the end of each chapter. Detailed solutions of all the exercises are provided.
